     To further confuse matters, note that the City of New York is composed
of five counties (each borough being a county but the name is sometimes
different, i.e. Manhattan is New York County, Staten Island is Richmond
County, and Brooklyn is Kings County). Any other U.S. cities composed
of counties, or is NYC unique in that regard?
