THE AUTHORS whose work has been assembled into this special Worlds Fair issue of The Post all have one thing in common: They have found the big city an experience that cannot be passed over lightly. - - - Washington editor Stewart Alsop remembers what New York was like when he was a bachelor living in the city during the 1939 New York World's Fair, and he makes an interesting comparison with the city today. . - . Editor-at-large Bill Davidson, who has lived in and out of New York ever since he entered college in 1935, was immediately given a sample of Robert Moses' fantastic memory when he went to interview the World's Fair builder; Moses took ens look at Davidson and said, I remember you. You ran the hurdles for N.Y.U. in 1939" . . . While visiting one Fifth Avenue store to get information for her New York shopping article, Anne Chamberlin was mistaken for a comparison shopper by the store's manager, who seized and tore up her notes . . . . A true New Yorker, Gilbert Millstein was born in the Bronx and was graduated from the College of the City of New York; he now lives in Manhattan and feels a sense of personal loss every time one of the city's old buildings is torn down to make way for some new skyscraper . . . .S.J.Perelman has spenta lot of time in New York City since his first disappointing experience with the great metropolis, but he'd rather call Bucks County, Pennsylvania, home. . . . Broadway's lights have shone brightly on author Edmund G. Love, whose book, Subways Are for Sleeping, was a hit of a few seasons ago and whose new comedy will open next fall. - . - Free-lancer Eli Waldron, who writes about the Bohemian writers and artists of "the new Greenwich Village," formerly taught creative writing at Bohemia-bordering New York University.. -. The Post's editorial page, which has been dropped from this week's special issue, will be back in its regular position next week.
