COVER: The Wicked Winds of New York. Photographed by Henry Wolf.

The Wicked Winds of New York By Karen Pryor Tex Antoine may tell you that the winds are from the northwest, but that's not the whole story. The physiognomy of New York--the high buildings, the spaces in between, etc.--affects the winds in the city in ways no meteorologist can measure. Read on, therefore, as Ms. Pryor shoots the breeze about the Venturi effect, the (Marilyn) Monroe phenomenon, and other man-made weather matters.

Special Handbook: The Summer Scholar By Pat Koch Thaler and Sonya Shapiro No longer is summer ushered in with that old "no more lessons, no more books" refrain. There are plenty of vacation learning opportunities--in and around New York, at college campuses, and even abroad--for all age groups. Here is a roundup of this summer's offerings.

Interview With an Ex-Vampire By Cynthia Heimel His name is John Zacherle, although he usually drops the John, and he is surely New York's most famous Pennsylvania-born vampire. He came to fame as the host of television's Shock Theater; currently he's working as a D.J.This line of work, as Cynthia Heimel soon found out, still leaves him with plenty of words with which to charm interviewers.

Menachem Begin vs. The Jewish Lobby By Sol Stern On the surface, the American Jewish community has expressed displeasure at President Carter's hard line against Israeli occupation policies. Privately, however, that community has been exerting pressure on Menachem Begin to soften his own hard line on the West Bank colonies and other matters. Sol Stern, a former Ramparts editor and Middle East correspondent for several publications, describes the nature of this lobbying.

Good News, Bag News By Mary Randolph Carter Taking on the role of bag lady, Ms. Carter writes about shopping bags, how fancy and--yes--fashionable they've become.

DEPARTMENTS:
Politics: The Hiss Case--A Mystery Ignored By Sidney Zion In reaching his conclusion that Alger Hiss was not only guilty but a Russian spy to boot, did Allen Weinstein ignore the case's "central mystery"? Movies: Momo Meets Momus By Molly Haskell Madame Rosa should have won an Oscar from the handkerchief industry.
Theater: The Fault Lies in Our Stars By John Simon BAM's Julius Caesar may be the funniest show in town, but that wasn't Shakespeare's intent.
Music: Lehtir's Classy Lady By Alan Rich Despite its flaws, the City Opera's Merry Widow treats the work with seemly seriousness.
Restaurants: This Stop, Greenwich Village By Seymour Britchky Our itinerant bon vivant dines well downtown--in two places out of three.
Art: Lucian Freud--Beyond the Pleasure Principle By John Ashbery A gallery show of paintings by Sigmund's grandson proves that there's still talent in the family.
Page of Lists: The Natural Wonders of New York By Terry Clifford Take away the buildings and New York would be a lovely landscape.
