Only in the New York Times...

...would a typewriter repairwoman's death make the obituary page. Mary Adelman, above, died last Wednesday at age 89.

And only in New York would a typewriter-repair shop be frequented by the likes of Isaac Bashevis Singer, David Mamet, Erich Maria Remarque, Nora Ephron, Gene Shalit, Philip Roth, Joseph Heller and Peter Shaffer.
