Abstract: It felt like Death Valley as stifling heat reached down on Friday and took the city in its clammy grip, transforming the streets and sidewalks into hot griddles and creating instant dripping wretchedness. Thermometers reached triple digits, but that was not all -- untreated sewage cascading into the rivers denied water activities to many New Yorkers at the moment they most craved them.
