• Darren Dopp, Spitzer's bad-boy communications guru, is back at work after a 34-day suspension, though he'll likely return to his old post just until he can be placed somewhere less conspicuous. [NYT]
• Hm, looks like there was a blueprint in place after all, dating back two years, for fighting a fire in the Deutsche Bank building — but the force kinda ignored it. Oops. [NYP]
• The MTA should have waited to see if congestion pricing would go through before it announced that it would extract an added $300 million next year from commuters in fares and tolls, scolds the state controller. Hey, yeah, we agree! [NYDN]
• And saving the scariest news for last: Thousands of new students at Columbia, NYU, and other schools flooded into Manhattan this weekend, availing themselves not of dowdy, name-tag mixers but free Circle Line cruises and on-campus manicures and aromatherapy. Our dread is most succinctly expressed by this 31-year Village resident: "Oh my God, they're back." [NYS]
