"Pray for a miracle on 34th street," said Levy, as he explained how children's clothing would be affected by new federal regulations for lead from the Consumer Product Safety Commission. He joined manufacturers calling on congress to review the new rules, which could cost the city "upwards of 4000 jobs." (AP Photos/Bebeto Matthews)
