...flocked to peer at Myerson. ("She's marvelous-looking!" exclaims Sam Margolis, 71, a retired school principal.) Others come because the courthouse scene has become a part of the New York itinerary. "We've already seen the Statue of Liberty, the Broadway plays and Radio City Music Hall," explains Audrey Fitzgerald, 58, a spectator at the Steinberg trial. "We love the judge," adds her friend Carole Sanders, 48. "He keeps it moving...
