Daily bedbugs stories in Daily News

Looks like the Daily News does not care enough to send a reporter round to the 'Ground Zero' around the corner almost from their offices, but they do like to do stories and cartoons on bugs...Yesterday's paper carried on p.6 a story about Jeremy Sparig, who won the right not to pay almost a years' rent in B'klyn where his apt. was infested. His was a sad tale, but nothing like what we are experiencing near the Daily News offices.
Then they had a cartoon about a couple in bed with the bugs on p.21. Today They mentioned again that bugs haunt the offices of the DA in B'klyn - p.3 - noting that the Secret Service has offices there. So thanks, now Al Qaida knows where the USSS is located in NY. Not so secret evidently...
But while the DN is telling Al Qaida where the USSS is, they are keeping secret the fact that bedbugs are in ALMOST EVERY GOVERNMENT OFFICE IN MANHATTAN - I got that surprising bit when the journalist called me to tell me they had spoken with Gale Brewer, the bedbugs advocate for NY; I happen not to be in her constituency, but in Christien Quinn's, and we will be having a word with Ms. Quinn.
This journalist is really on to this story, which we think will run as a serial as it is really too large to put in one article.
