NEW YORK<\/strong>. Cynthia Nixon, Andrew Cuomo battle over room temperature for first and only debate<\/a>: \u2018Ms. Nixon\u2019s team has publicly accused the debate host, WCBS-TV, of catering to all of the governor\u2019s demands to land the debate, and they are concerned that the debate hall at Hofstra University on Long Island might feel like an ice rink when they arrive. (Mr. Cuomo is famous for preferring to make his public appearances in\u00a0deeply chilled conditions<\/a>.) So in a pre-emptive strike, Rebecca Katz, a top strategist for Ms. Nixon, asked WCBS-TV in an email last week that the debate hall be warmed to 76 degrees.\u2019<\/p>\n SKETCHY INTERVIEW OF THE DAY<\/strong>.
