September 2001
Nicholas, my comment my have seem
uncalled for & I probably should have explained why I feel this way hopefully
it is not too late to explain. I have been to a wake and a memorial already
& we have one more next week, there was a tremendous turnout at both & at
one of them my friend said to me who are all these people & why are they here.
They don't know me or the deceased. She was very angry & it may have had to
do with her own grief I do not know. I do know she felt like strangers were
being nosey & showing up just for the heck of it. I apologize if I hurt anyone's
feelings.

C78, thanks for reminding people
that we can still help others, that there is still a great need for love and
support at this time. The relief agencies still need cash donations, and the
Red Cross would like people to make appointments to give blood in October.
The blood they collected in the wake of the tragedy will only last a few weeks.
We can also stand together and try not to let petty grievances get to us.
We are all mourning this attack in our own way.

C78, I recall a previous post
of yours urging us to go to these funerals. We get it, it seems like you just
want us to know that you went. Good for you. Many of us are busy going to
memorials & funerals of people we knew & can't bear to attend any more.

The FDNY has asked the public
to attend firefighters' funerals, since they can't give the huge turnout they
normally do. I went to one in Bayside today and I can say it was beautiful.
The mayor got a nice round of applause, and all the firefighters who were
there got a standing ovation as they marched out of the church. The NY papers
are printing the locations of all area funerals. Please go, it you possibly
can. It's the very least we can do.

"Something we have always done
as a family is what we call "going for a spin." On a dark, rainy night, we
take the old Caddy out on a stretch of treacherous, curving road and get it
up to about ninety and slam on the brakes. The kids scream with glee because
we always end up in a different place. It's better than the Cyclone or the

FROM THE DAILY NEWS: Ever since
the World Trade Center disaster, federal and city officials have said there
is minimal risk from the fetid, dust-filled air and smoke that continue to
envelop Ground Zero. But independent tests of dust samples around the site
have found dangerous levels of cancer-causing asbestos, fiberglass — and even
residues of human bone particles.

It is starting again. Reports
of Americans beating, shooting and abusing other Americans. Reports of schoolchildren
beating other children based on their appearance. Reports of widespread violence
against Arab and Muslim-Americans. God bless America. It is starting again.
Our president says "We will hunt these folks down", "I will lead the world
toward victory", "We will wage a global war on terrorism" and "this will be
a sustained war". Thousands more innocent lives will be lost, and towards
what end? What purpose does our own fanaticism serve in resolving the horrific
tragedy that happened on Tuesday, September 11? America trains foreigners
to torture and kill civilians and overthrow governments, and we funded the
Taliban to fight the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. Our taxes went towards this.
We paid for the shelter provided to the attacker and perhaps for the training
of the attackers themselves. Perhaps we should examine our own system before
killing other innocent people because they aren’t "like us". The seemingly
never-ending cycle of violence has come round again. We stand now at a crossroads.
We can continue on the path that leads towards death, hate, fear and tragic
loss or we can finally change direction.
NOW WHAT DO WE DO?

Lani O'Grady, who played Dick
Van Patten's oldest daughter on the 1970s TV show ``Eight is Enough,'' was
found dead Tuesday. She was 46. O'Grady was found dead in her mobile home
by a neighbor. The cause of death was under investigation, but there was no
indication of suspicious circumstances, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department
said. O'Grady played Mary Bradford, the eldest daughter of newspaper columnist
Tom Bradford on the ABC comedy-drama that aired from 1977 to 1981. After the
show, O'Grady drifted away from acting, according to a story in TV Guide last
year. Her mother, Mary Grady, was one of Hollywood's top children's agents,
and her brother, Don Grady, played Robbie Douglas on ``My Three Sons,'' which
aired from 1960 to 1972.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Two Air Force
generals have been authorized to order the military to shoot down any civilian
airliner that appears to be threatening U.S. cities, Pentagon officials said
Thursday. Seeking to reassure America's travelers of their safety, Secretary
of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld said: "There are a lot of safeguards in place."
He said he had crafted the new rules of engagement for military pilots with
Gen. Henry H. Shelton, who is retiring as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff. "The last thing in the world that one of them wants to do is engage
a commercial aircraft," Shelton said. "And so don't get the impression that
anyone who's flying around out there has a loose trigger finger." Rumsfeld
was asked if Americans should be worried about the policy since passengers
could be trying to overcome a hijacker as people attempted on the plane that
crashed in Pennsylvania Sept. 11. That was the only one of four hijacked planes
that did not hit a terrorist target. "The rules of engagement are addressed
on a continuing basis with a great deal of care and sensitivity to all of
the points that you've raised and others have raised," Rumsfeld said, refusing
to provide details.

DO NOT ATTACK INNOCENT PEOPLE, but realize that there are enemies among us

shopping at National Wholesale Liquidators located at 2485 Grand Ave. In Baldwin
New York. When the news of the horrific events at the World Trade center were
announced the employees and managers and I presume the owners were clapping
and Cheering at the news. She was horrified and ran out of the store.I don't
think that we should go there and reciprocate and let them know our feelings.
My brother already did that. Thank God the police were already at the store
and he told him our story along with others. So we need to stop shopping there.
I think that is all we can do at this point. We can also forward this letter

WOL readers - About 10 posts back
somebody posted something about me and signed it WOL Readers. Seems to me
that he was taking it upon himself to speak for a lot of people. Is there
anyone out there who would like to tell this person to speak for himself,
and not put words in your mouths. I'm taking a little gamble here, but i'd
like a little support. Whether you like me or not, do you want this person
speaking for you en masse.

"But even the most despicable attack
ever committed against America won't make propagandist popsters Rage Against
the Machine change their tune. Unfortunate fans logging onto the band's Web
site are greeted by a message that many would consider to be in amazingly
bad taste. A one-dollar bill with the words "Burn me" scrawled across it is
shown along with a note from lead guitarist Tom Morello, explaining that writing
messages on money is "my own special form of protest . . . a quiet little
hijacking and a federal crime." The opening montage is followed by a letter
from Morello. It starts out expressing his sympathy for the thousands of innocent
victims but rapidly turns into a lecture on the "evils" of America. "On Tuesday,
the victims were American," Morello writes. "But the horrible scenes that
we've witnessed on TV this week are regular occurrences in other places around
the globe. And too often, violence like this has been meted out by our own
country and its client states." Morello's rant against "violence in all its
forms" then goes on to compare "religious fanaticism" to "our own domestic
elite." Rage's website also includes a handy "reading list" on which convicted
cop killer Mumia Abu Jamal's "International Terrorism and the CIA" is recommended
along with "The Anarchist Cookbook," the famous bomb-making and sabotage guide."

Our deepest sympathy and condolences
go out to all the people and their families affected by the attacks on Tuesday.
The loss of innocent life is just terrible, and our thoughts go out to all
of you who personally may have had friends or family killed or injured in
the tragedy. The pain felt across the country demonstrates the lesson of Tuesday's
events: that the taking of innocent life is devastating to a society and terribly
wrong. On Tuesday, the victims were American. But the horrible scenes that
we've witnessed on TV this week are regular occurrences in other places around
the globe. And too often, violence like this has been meted out by our own
country and its client states. We should stand together against this type
of violence in all its forms, whenever it happens, whether its done in the
name of religious fanaticism, or in the names of our own domestic elite. My
best wishes go out to all of you. Take care of yourselves, and each other.
Peace

The definitive book on the Kennedy
Assasination is Case Closed by Gerald Posner. He breaks down all of the consipracy
theories and weighs them agains the evidence of LHO acting alone. The decision
is so one-sided that you wil want to track down Oliver Stone and demand your
six bucks back. Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK, Case Closed. And I have never
met anyone who has actually read this book that feels differently. (So, any
conspiracy buffs, please read the book before you attack me on WOL). Mr. Posner
by the way is a Liberal who in an op-ed piece on Monday rescinded his many
allegations about the current President's leadership abilities.

SEATTLE (AP) -- Starbucks' president
apologized to the owner of an ambulance company after a store near the World
Trade Center made rescue workers pay $130 for water to treat victims of the
terrorist attacks. Midwood Ambulance Service President Al Rapisarda said he
received a hand-delivered reimbursement check -- and a personal call from
Starbucks president Orin Smith -- after the incident became public. "It was
a misunderstanding with Starbucks," Rapisarda said after talking to Smith.
The ambulance service alerted Starbucks to the incident in an e-mail, which
was obtained by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Smith said Tuesday he did
not know why the coffee shop charged the rescue workers, who came in shortly
after the attacks to get water to treat shock victims. "It's totally inconsistent
with the kind of behavior we would have expected from our people, so it has
been very upsetting to learn of this," Smith told The Associated Press. The
manager of the store declined to comment.

My family owns an ambulance service
in Brooklyn NY. Midwood Ambulance if anyone knows it. Anyway, my uncles were
at "Ground Zero" during the attack to help the victims. They donated their
time to help with this crisis as many New Yorkers did. A great deal of people
were in shock from the devastation. As many of you know, shock victims are
supposed to drink a lot of water. My uncle went to the Starbucks down the
street to get bottles of water for the victims he was treating. Can you believe
they actually charged him for it!! He paid the $130 for 3 cases of bottled
water out of his own pocket. Now, I would think that in a crisis such as this,
vendors in the area would be more than happy to lend a little help by donating
water. Well, not Starbucks! As if this country hasn't given them enough money!
Anyway, the point of this story wasn't to glorify my uncle's actions but to
suggest a boycott on Starbucks. Now, I love Frappaccinos as much as anyone,
but any company that would try to make a profit off of a crisis like this
doesn't deserve the American public's hard earned money. Please share this
with everyone you know and encourage them to do the same.
Thank you!

MIDLAND, TX— Former president
George Bush issued an apology to his son Monday for advocating the CIA's mid-'80s
funding of Osama bin Laden, who at the time was resisting the Soviet invasion
of Afghanistan. "I'm sorry, son," Bush told President George W. Bush. "We
thought it was a good idea at the time because he was part of a group fighting
communism in Central Asia. We called them 'freedom fighters' back then. I
know it sounds weird. You sort of had to be there." Bush is still deliberating
over whether to tell his son about the whole supporting-Saddam Hussein-against-Iran
thing.

Here's the REAL story behind the
Kennedy assasination: (From the book"Mortal Error"..or Fatal Error): Oswald
shot Kennedy. He missed one and hit the pres & gov with 1 other shot. Yes,
the single bullet theory is correct and possible. Oswald was using full jacketed
rounds that do not break up upon entry. The fatal head shot came from one
of his (Kennedy's) guards who was riding in the car behind him. He (the agent)
stood up when he heard the shot, holding his weapon..an M-16 or something
that shoots a .223 soft point, tumbling round. This round literally explodes
in a body upon entry. The car speeds up, he falls backwards and his gun goes
off, hitting JFK in the head and literally blowing half of it away.6 Oswald's
round could have never inflicted so much damage. Anyhow, Read the book....all
this is coming from memory (I loaned the book out). It explains logically
and scientifically how this happened. Mortal Error.

It's so nice to see all the American
flags around town. Still, it amazes me that so many people who live in this
country never owned a flag before September 11. There are plenty of places
to find the Stars and Stripes, even now. The newspapers printed paper flags
in the Sunday editions. The Internet has lots of downloads to print. Flags
are being sold on the streets all over midtown Manhattan. I guess being a
card-carrying member of the Liberal party makes me appreciate our freedom
all year round. But it's never too late to show your appreciation for this

that Lee Harvry Oswald never fired a shot at Kennedy...he was caught in triangular
" turkey shoot" setup...He is widely being regarded as a shill-a fall guy
of some sort...He was probably involved, but was not a triggerman...All related
documentation regarded as classified,(if it still exists), will be released
in about 30 years---long after the deaths of all the individuals involved...no
one will ever be sucessfully prosecuted for staging that coup de etat in which

c78 - I do exactly what you mentioned
every 4th of July. I go house to house and put a small AMerican Flag in the
ground by my neighbors mail boxes. It was so nice to see that after this tragedy,
every neighbor had a flag to put in front of their house because of me. Even
if it is a 3x5 flag..it symbolizes our heritage, or liberty and our freedom.
God bless us all, American or not. No justice, no peace.

they saved several thousand via an orderly evacuation before they died.It
takes the sting out a bit.I had posted a letter last week written by a Chief
of the FDNY in the early 1900's, but it is now archived.I have it on a plaque
in my home, and the Fire Unions, the UFA and the UFOA periodically place it
in their yearly calendars as a reminder...it sums up mostly what we feel in

One last post. I was going to
share this yesterday but because it was unresolved I chose not to do so. Ten
minutes ago I was given the happy news that our justice system was hard at
work. A very dear friend of mine has a relative in Florida that she is very
close to, and speaks to several times a week. The relative relayed a disturbing
exchange she had last Friday. She went to her neighborhood gas station, with
friends in the car, to fill up. No one was saying anything during the payment
exchange but all had serious faces as they had been discussing the NY and
Washington attacks while the gas was filling the tank. The attendant collecting
the money sneered at the driver and lowered his face so the passengers could
see him and snarled "SOOOOOOOOO, how does it FEEL? HUH?! Tell me how does
it feel to YOU?". They were so shocked by his comment, and its meaning, as
it sunk in but mostly they were terrified by the look on his face and the
viciousness of his tone. Incredibly no one did a thing outside of leave the
gas station immediately! Yesterday when the relative told my friend, she was
so disturbed by the nature of the comments that she came to my office to talk.
We both felt that it should be reported, located the number for the FBI in
her area, and called back the relative to urge her to take action. Last night
that gas station owner and nearly a dozen other men (all employees and OTHER
gas station owners in that community) were arrested, not detained. The FBI
had been watching them and probably would have gotten them at some point anyway,
but my friends relative's call is what made them act last night. She and her
friends will be questioned further, but I feel better and stronger knowing
the FBI is working hard to protect us.

Getting my posts in now because
I haven't got the luck of curious... This morning as we were travelling into
Manhattan, we came upon the longest delays yet on the LIE at the Midtown Tunnel.
For the past week, there is a newly created lane which is for vans and trucks
to pull in for searching before paying the toll. I am used to that sigh now.
TODAY on the opposite lanes, there was a whole new search of ALL the commuter
buses - State troopers were stopping and walking on buses. I saw this happen
with nearly a dozen buses (that is how long the traffic takes to crawl along).
When we did reach the other side of the tunnel, the empty returning commuter
buses were being searched too. Scary to see, but comforting to know these
guys and gals are on top of it all.

Glad your travel was safe and happy you felt the love of the country. C78,
it took me a over a week to find a flag in a store myself. Every place I went
to was sold out. I ended up in a party goods store and bought string of flags
on a banner. When I got home I cut all the connecting string and placed my
many flags all over my windows and car. I feel such comfort when I see a flag
on a car or house, but also know that these people are among us and fooled
us for so long. They dress as we do, work as we do, and may even decorate
as we do. For me, it will be hard to trust again. Marge, did you work in that
slow dance? Glad you have company while Mr. Marge travels. You have lots of
folks that love and care for you to fill in the other spots. Just look both
ways, lock your doors and catch up with friends every night on the phone.
I start early every year, but I have thrown myself into Christmas shopping

Today when I dropped my son off
in his classroom there was a horrible odor. When I looked around there was
a Policeman who was filthy, exhausted and smelled terrible. This poor guy
had just gotten home for the first time since last week. He was embarrassed
to be so dirty but he wanted to take his son to school. The boy wouldn't let
him leave but when he hung on him the dirt was getting on his clothes too.
The parents standing around were dumbfounded. We each spoke quietly to him
and wished him rest but it didn't seem like enough. After reading thought
provoking I can't stop thinking of what that poor guy has seen. He's doing
the work we all wish we could do.

solution, but I'm putting all establishments through the flag test: if they
display American flags, they can't be all bad. I'm also making mental notes
of all houses around here which are not flying our colors. I still haven't
decided what to do with that infomation, but I did give small flags to the
neighbors on either side of my house.

Ken, since you asked, my comments

work to a newspaper, that if legitimate, might win a Pulitzer prize for reporting.

departed in that forever charred place called Ground Zerro.. If we grieve
too long, we will be weakened and unable to overcome this horror. We will
be exactly what the perpatrators wanted us to be, distracted. It is a time
for doing and rebuilding and living. I for one will spend every spare moment
making myslef a better person, to make the world around me a better place.
And sometimes, you haev to be mean to be good. Sometimes, you have to be angry
to be good. Sometimes, like now, you have to seek justice. This is not revenge.
This is not retaliation. Justice is all I want. Plain and simple. I will not
boycott Arab owned establishments. I will not sneer at those who believe in
Islamic ways. They are not the ones who forever changed the face of NY and
the lives of so many. The real criminals must be brought to justice. Then,

anything like this. Let us all be greatful for that!

Okay curious, I saw this in the
NY Daily News...Julia Roberts came close to breaking down Friday night when
she appeared on "America: A Tribute to Heroes," the unprecedented worldwide
telethon for the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center
and the Pentagon. Other than donating $1 million to the American Red Cross
Disaster Relief Fund and another $1 million to the telethon fund, she has
dealt with this atrocity much like the rest of us.

Patriotism and altruism kept many
Americans glued to their sets this weekend. Friday's all-star telethon ''America:
A Tribute to Heroes,'' drew an average of 59 million viewers, with as many
as 89 million tuning in over the course of the telecast, which aired on some
30 networks. Final figures of how much money the show raised for disaster
relief will be released later today, but early estimates are as high as $110
million.

IT has been nearly two weeks now
and the face of my city has changed for ever. Her eyes are haunted by desolation
and grief, etched with fear of the gruesome, unspeakable terrors we know are
still to come. There are some things people should never have to know in life
- unthinkable, sickening things that make the mind recoil in shuddering horror.
We in New York live with those things every day now. We know, for example,
that rats have made their way from the Hudson River to the rubble-strewn graveyard
where thousands of our countrymen lay dead. We know that the rain of the past
few days has turned that monolithic tomb into a running sore, that lime in
the cement is doing its own devouring. We watch aghast as our heroic firefighters
stumble exhausted from their dreadful toil, their eyes windows to souls writhing
in pain and disbelief at the monstrous scenes they are witnessing. It is difficult
to convey the utter dismay we feel, the shocking, guilt-inducing desire to
not want to know and, especially, to not want to see. Like most, we see only
a sanitised version on our TVs of the true extent of the evil visited on this
city by terrorists. But unlike you, we know our city now smells like an unclean
butcher's shop. We know the wind changed direction yesterday and we had to
leave our apartments, the cloying scent of death too much to bear. Some subway
stops smell so bad, people are losing it, desperate for escape and knowing
there is none. Does this sound too rough? I'm sorry but this is what it's
really like. I saw people jumping to their certain death, heard the thud as
their bodies hit the ground, saw what remained of them. They didn't look human.
They were just smears on the rubble. I knew then - as I took refuge behind
a pillar, choking on dust, blinded and certain that I too was going to die
- that nobody could have survived if they had been in those towers when they
collapsed. I'm haunted by the screams, by the sounds of fire engines, cars,
ambulances exploding into flames before the second tower - grinding, twisting,
groaning - came crushing down. The noise, the blackness, the smoke and dust,
the heart-withering screeches of pain and fear ... it was hell on Earth. I
knew nobody could have survived. But I didn't want to know. It is why, today,
the grieving here in New York has only just begun. We've been on hold, too
shocked and appalled to accept the truth. I escaped with my life but only
just. I had run into the lobby of a building - I still don't know which -
in pitch darkness. A shower of rubble blocked the entrance and we were trapped,
until a policeman shot through a window to help us escape. If I could I'd
like to thank him - and a fireman too. I have his number, 24811, but cannot
find out if he is alive. I helped him help broken but living people to safety,
as the tormenting sight of dismembered limbs and body parts lay around us.
Like the millions upon millions of other people here in New York, I couldn't
give up the ghosts until now. Giving up hope seemed like giving in, a betrayal
of the dead. On September 29, I will attend the funeral of my friend Sean.
There is no body and we know that there never will be now. Instead, his girlfriend
Chrissie, 25, whom I have known since High School, will carry an urn full
of dust scraped from the clothes I was wearing on September 11. It is all
she has left to represent Sean's ashes. There are thousands upon thousands
who do not even have that. Sean was 26, a financier on the 96th floor of the
second tower to collapse. He called Chrissie to tell her his building was
being evacuated but got cut off mid-sentence. Chrissie saw the second tower
disappear as she watched from her apartment window. She and Sean had been
together for two years and were due to wed. Last Sunday, we attended a memorial
service for people who had worked at his firm. There was a sole survivor,
a girl who had telephoned in to say she would be late for work. She is not
glad to be alive. Instead, she feels eaten by a soul-destroying guilt that
she was spared. There's an unmistakable note of hysteria in her voice when
she speaks. And in Chrissie's and in mine and in the voices of most New Yorkers.
The ripple of grief has only just begun. The tidal wave has not yet hit the
shore. Thousands of parents have outlived their children. Thousands of mothers
and fathers have died. Friends, cousins, aunts, husbands, wives, the tentacles
of grief reach ever further, around the world. The view from here is very
different now. Just two weeks ago, many people felt sympathy for what they
call the "Irish cause". They called the IRA freedom fighters. They helped
raise money for them. All this way over the ocean, it was easy for that cause
to be romanticised, idealised. Not now. Those voices have fallen silent. Many
of the firefighters and policemen murdered at Ground Zero, many who daily
dig out the remains of their colleagues, were Irish-American or just Irish.
They are our heroes and they feel a blind rage at what has been perpetrated
by terrorists here. There is a wall at Ground Zero where the firefighters
leave messages to one another. Scrawled across it is a simple, emotional response:
"Nuke them". There is much good rising here, phoenix-like from the ashes of
destruction. Compassion and humanity have appeared in abundance where once
New Yorkers prided themselves on their steam-rolling, can't-stop aggression.
People take a few minutes to wait or to think. And now they are thinking that
terrorism is terrorism whatever disguise these cowards adopt. That is where
our grief is focused now - not on a race or a religion, not on Muslims or
Islam, but on a desire to see the bad guys, wherever they are, whoever they
may be, brought to justice. Perhaps good can come for all of us from this
hell. Here, in New York, that's the only hope we have left.
Thought provoking--

THE largest air armada seen since
World War Two was zeroing in on evil mastermind Osama bin Laden last night.
At least 630 US warplanes will join the battle against international terror
- THREE TIMES as many as America deployed in the war against Saddam Hussein.
More than a hundred jets are already in the Gulf, poised to strike at bin
Laden and his henchmen in the wildernesses of Afghanistan. Another 250 have
been ordered to the region from bases around the world by President George
W Bush. And 280 more are on board four US aircraft carriers which are moving
into position with a 41-ship battlefleet. The warplanes will be backed up
by America's stockpile of 3,500 cruise missiles. Crack British SAS troops
are ready to slip into Afghanistan to link up with anti-Taliban rebels and
capture bin Laden. And a British fleet - including an aircraft carrier, a
nuclear sub, destroyers and a troop support carrying 3,000 Marines - was last
night heading for the Suez Canal. The unprecedented show of strength sends
a clear message to the world that the US-led war on terrorism is about to
begin. The four US carriers will be key players in any large-scale attack
on Afghanistan. They have been ordered to the area from as far away as Virginia
and Japan. The USS Theodore Roosevelt is accompanied by 13 ships, one nuclear
submarine and 15,000 American troops. USS Carl Vinson has 11 ships alongside
it, including destroyers, battle cruisers and attack subs. USS Enterprise
will be joined by 12 ships - all similar types to Carl Vinson's escort. As
well as warplanes, it will be carrying about 120 special forces troops. And
the USS Kitty Hawk will be joined by four support ships. Giant B-52s - which
can launch cruise missiles - and deadly stealth bombers are also expected
to fly to the region. RAF Tornado jets can be called in quickly to boost the
force because many still patrol in the Gulf in the wake of the 1991 war against
Iraq. The announcement of the massive deployment spurred Afghanistan's rebel
Northern Alliance to launch a bloody new offensive against the hated Taliban
forces yesterday. In a day of heavy fighting, the rebels claimed to have killed
80 Taliban militia, taken 200 others prisoner and captured key territory.
Meanwhile, Taliban leaders tried to worm their way out of defying America's
demand that they hand over bin Laden - by claiming he had gone missing. But
US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld accused them of lying - and he repeated
America's vow to hunt him down and bring him to justice. Taliban fighters
responded last night by building bunkers, setting up anti-aircraft batteries
and arming men in key border areas to defend against possible attack. Their
arsenal includes deadly Stinger anti-aircraft missiles - which America itself
supplied the Soviet occupation. An unmanned US spy plane went missing over
northern Afghanistan yesterday. The Taliban immediately insisted they had
shot it down. But Pentagon chiefs dismissed the claim and said the aircraft
may simply have had technical trouble. It was said to have been gathering
intelligence for the CIA. Earlier, Bush lifted sanctions against Pakistan
and India as a reward for their backing of US action following the carnage
in New York and Washington which has left an estimated 6,750 people dead or
missing. The sanctions were imposed in 1998 after the rival nations successfully
tested nuclear weapons. British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw is due to visit
Iran today to discuss co-operation in a war on terrorism with the anti-Taliban
Islamic state. ISRAELI Prime Minister Ariel Sharon cancelled truce talks with
the Palestinians yesterday, blaming continuing violence in Gaza and the West
Bank. A RECORD 90 per cent of Americans back President Bush's handling of
the crisis. His approval rating in a Gallup poll yesterday beat the old record
of 89 per cent, held by his dad after the 1991 Gulf War. The president joined
Marines for a ceremony at Camp David as the flag flew above half-mast for
the first time since the attacks, ending official mourning. Bin Laden dodged
US strike TERROR chief Osama bin Laden escaped a US missile strike by minutes,
it was revealed yesterday. More than 60 Tomahawks slammed into targets across
Afghanistan in a bid to kill the fanatic in 1998. One destroyed a house where
bin Laden had met henchmen less than an hour earlier. The hit - from warships
in the Gulf - was ordered by then president Bill Clinton to avenge the bombings
of two US embassies in East Africa. Bin Laden was behind the massacre, which
killed 224.

Tish: I too cry at the least little
thing. Last Thursday morning, getting ready to leave for work, I saw the "911"
of Marines leaving Camp LeJune (sp?). One of the soldiers was holding his
tiny infant in his hands. And as he put the infant in the carrage you could
read his thoughts. He was trying to put that little face in his memory to
take with him. You could see the thought that he may never see that child
again, and the child may never know his father. And, heaven forbid, that little
child could be fighting in this same war many years from now. Another soldier
was holding a toddler who was playing with the dad's hat brim and laughing,
not realizing that daddy is leaving. Saturday, I was priming the inside of
our new garage doors and since I can't listen to regular radio music yet I
put in Kenny G cd's since Mr. Marge doesn't like KG and he was out running
errands. And then, for one song, I got off the ladder and turned the volume
up so loud I'm surprised you couldn't hear it in NY. It was KG and Louie Armstrong
singing, "It's a Wonderful World". Boy did I cry. I wanted the whole world
to hear it too. We stayed away from TV all weekend except last night for the
11 news just to make sure nothing drastic had happened that we didn't know
about. And, every time a plane goes over, we look up. It's amazing how much
it rattles us now when it was such a routine thing before. That too will pass,
I'm sure. Can't say I blame you for the fear on bridges and in tunnels, especially,
and looking at other cars, wondering. I'm frightened in my own house and am
so fearful just going out to my barbeque when it's dark. When Mr. Marge goes
away from 10/6 through 10/13, I don't know how I'll deal with it. I have a
friend coming the first weekend and the second I'll be away with another,
but during the week I know I'll be at my wits end. Between the garage incident
and this, oh, boy!

Can't say boo about Tom Cruise
because, as I don't care for him much, I don't know if he is a generous soul
- he may be. As for Julia, WOW is she generous. Does the work as well as spends
the cash for several charities. The Friday night event was awe inspiring and
I agree with you on Wyclef. All I could think of is how he just lost his own
father weeks ago. The same week Bono lost his Dad. Loss was felt and the the
sorrow was heavy on that telecast. Thought Neil did a great job on "Imagine"
too. His voice was never his greatest instrument but conveyed just what Lennon
meant by giving peace a chance. I taped the show and watched in again last
night.

curious, shed those tears! I all
but marinated in the live news coverage for over a week, bawling at will many
times within an hour. I still felt the tears would never cease. I get through
the day a little easier now, but all it takes is the littlest thing, a face
on a Missing poster, hearing God Bless America sung in emotional voices, sometimes
it is just a plane overhead that will make me break. I had the infinite joy
(that is sarcasm, folks) of going to New Jersey this weekend. We always drive
through Manhattan and take the tunnel, but we have been prohibited from doing
that. We went over the Verrazanno Bridge instead. I was dizzy with fear the
whole ride for all the 9/22 Second Strike rumors I heard. While driving in
Staten Island, I stared at the usual traffic beside me, looking for suspicious
characters and vehicles with bombs. It took me a moment to realize that one
of the trucks beside me was one of four bouncing and slamming along the road.
Sounded like a junk heap for all the metal clattering. It was the first of
four Sanitation dump trucks with pieces of the WTC. I looked at the driver
and was so overcome with emotion. He just looked so sad and nodded to me.
What a brutal job! We had our eyes peeled and wondered how much of the debris
would show at Fresh Kill when we passed. Like I watched the explosion all
over again, is how we felt when we saw all the destroyed fire trucks lined
up along the entry way. There was nothing to do but cry. I saw those trucks
on the news ALL WEEK blocks from my office, but seeing them again in a field
of grass, all blown out and burnt was horrendous. I had a great time later
at the party I went to, but the image of the debris in those trucks will last
forever. Anyone getting mad yet? I am. Not sure what action to take yet aside
from cash donations. Any thoughts? Don't want to boycott any stores based
on rumor alone.

An open letter to a terrorist written
by an 18 year old named Charles Brennan. It is part of his open letter published
in a Florida newspaper. ~~~~~~ Well, you hit the World Trade Center, but you
missed America. You hit the Pentagon, but you missed America. You used helpless
American bodies, to take out other American bodies, but like a poor marksman,
you STILL missed America. Why? Because of something you guys will never understand.
America isn't about a building or two, not about financial centers, not about
military centers, America isn't about a place, America isn't even about a bunch
of bodies. America is about an IDEA. An idea, that you can go someplace where
you can earn as much as you can figure out how to, live for the most part, like
you envisioned living, and pursue Happiness. (No guarantees that you'll reach
it, but you can sure try!) Go ahead and whine your terrorist whine, and chant
your terrorist litany: "If you can not see my point, then feel my pain." This
concept is alien to Americans. We live in a country where we don't have to see
your point. But you're free to have one. We don't have to listen to your speech.
But you're free to say one. Don't know where you got the strange idea that everyone
has to agree with you. There's a spirit that tends to take over people who come
to this country, looking for opportunity, looking for liberty, looking for freedom.
Even if they misuse it. You guys seem to be incapable of understanding that
we don't live in America, America lives in US! American Spirit is what it's
called. And killing a few thousand of us, or a few million of us, won't change
it. Most of the time, it's a pretty happy-go-lucky kind of Spirit. Until we're
crossed in a cowardly manner, then it becomes an entirely different kind of
Spirit. Wait until you see what we do with that Spirit, this time. Sleep tight,
if you can. We're coming.

Prescott are you a blind person?I
never thought rolling ones eyes would be taken for a somber look.
I guess i watched a different presidential address
USA - Friday, September 21, 2001 at 13:52:06 (PDT)
Is Senator Rodham-Clinton expected
to Cow-tow to the Man Who Lives in the White House? Last night I just thought
she looked somber. She (like me) was expecting a war address, not a pep rally.
I guess she (like me) forgot that The Man Who Occupies the White House is an
Overgrown Ivy League Male Cheerleader, and not actually qualified for the job
his father's friends gave him last year. I'll say this for him. He didn't flub
his lines (other than Ooohbekistan). That's why everyone was so impressed by
the speech. You can't give him credit for the words, those came from Mary Matalin
or Karen Hughes or somebody who actually has read a book or two in their life.
But other than smirking in congratulatory pride, he really didn't mess up last
night. A B- performance by a D+ caliber man. Well done, Prince George.

USA - Friday, September 21, 2001 at 13:28:48 (PDT)
As a voting Republican, I was proud
of the speech that Dubya gave last night. I think it hit the nail right on the
head. I am, however reluctant to elevate him to Mt. Rushmore status, as so many
talk show hosts, and even TV personalities have done, simply on the strength
of the speech. Time will tell. This is a good start though! To the fellow, a
few posts back, who suggested that Bob C. and his fellow ACLU'rs hop the next
plane to Afghanistan, I've got this to say to you. I've had the good fortune
to know Bob for some 35 yrs, and i've never known anyone that was more of a
Patriot. We agree, almost never on anything political, and I wouldn't carry
an ACLU card, but I would rather that he had my back, than you, in any war,
at any time. And Curious, yes you do have the right to call your President,

a flag......that way, you know where your funds are going (a releif fund) instead

Good evening my fellow Americans.
First, I want to pass on my condolences to the people of New York and all Americans
that are hurting in this tragic time. You can rest assured that anything and
everything that can be done to assure the safety of our country will be done.
This is the greatest country in the world and we will get through this trying
time. Now is the time for all people to set aside our petty differences and
show the world that no one or nothing can destroy the fortitude of the American
people. To the people responsible for today's tragedy, I say this: Are you f*cking
kidding me? Are the turbans on your heads wrapped too tight? Have you gone too
long without a bath? Do you not know who you are f*cking with? Americans are
so hungry to kill, that we shoot at each other every day. We will relish that
opportunity for new targets for our aggression. Have you forgotten history?
What happened to the last people that started f*cking around with us? Remember
the little yellow bastards over in Japan? We slapped them all over the Pacific
and roasted about 2 million of them in their own back yard. That's what we in
America call a big ass barbecue. Ever seen Texas on a map? Ever wonder why it's
so big? Because we wanted it that way. Mexico started jacking around with the
Alamo and now they cut our lawns. England? We sent them packing. Ask your buddy
Saddam about f*cking with the good 'ole USA. The only reason he got away the
first time is because it's too hard to shoot someone when you're doubled over
laughing at them. Our soldiers aren't trained to laugh and shoot at the same
time. Now he couldn't stop a pack of cub scouts from taking over his sh*tty
little country. Trust us, Afghanistan will end up a giant kitty litter box.
Go ahead and try to hide, Bin Laden. There's not a hole deep enough or a mountain
high enough that's going to keep your camel riding a**es safe. We will bomb
every inch of the country that harbors him, his camps and any place that looks
and even smells like he was there. Hell, we might even drop a few bombs on people
that have pissed us off in the past. This is America. We kick ass. This is what
we do. Go ahead and laugh now, but the Tomahawks are coming and very soon we
will smoke your sorry a**es. God bless America!

I was glued to the TV to watch what
the President had to say I was impressed by his words and his leadership. After
attending the funeral mass for one of our FIREMAN today I don't feel as strong
as he would like Americans to feel. This Fireman's little girl sat beside mine
in pre-school. His wife goes to bed alone tonight and every night. She can't
ask her husband to leave a couple of bucks in the morning for McDonald's like
I have. She's not concerned tonight about her children remembering their spelling
words for a test tomorrow. She's not planning how to get two kids to soccer
and dance on Saturday. I don't feel strong, I feel afraid, sad and numb. I hope
the rest of the country can carry New York for as long as it has to. It will
take longer than any war for us to get over this loss. Loss of life, loss of
Mothers, Fathers, Brothers, Sisters and children. Loss of innocence in our children.
That young woman (and many others) doesn't have to assure her children that
they are safe from war. She has to assure them they will be safe without their
Dad. Sobering I know but with all the opinions shown here and bashing going
on we should remember who really suffers these dark days.

Clinton opposed the Vietnam war
and exercised his democratic rights to protest it. Bush supported the war, just
so long as other people had to fight it. He exercised his father's influence
to hide from it. Now, that is a big difference. But now he is in charge, and
I can support him. I just don't like to read the constant Clinton bashing even
after all these years. The GOP just has an obsession with him that refuses to
fade, no matter how much time goes by.

Marge, I may have a way with words
but you are very kind and bring reason to the chaos here. I am 100% with you
on the fact of unfinished business here in the US. I am concerned (!) about
the rumours of more attacks this Saturday, but I guess that is what they want
- terrorists terrify. I used to work in the health care field and have talked
and counseled many patients who had their lives spared after fighting a usually
fatal disease or event. One common thing to each of them is that the life they
have left is precious and lived to each moment in the fullest way possible.
Aren't they brave? They know what it is to be that close to a loss and make
the most of what they have. No one is going to coast after this week. We will
kiss and hug a little longer, forgive faster, and wait in lines with little
annoyance. You learn what matters most and you run with what is left. Some days
we will even dance. Marge, you go and swing your partner and kick up your heels
the next chance you get....even if it is a long slow dance in front of the fireplace
at home!

these people will do on our home land again. We have to know they are not finished
here yet. We can only hope they are, but that may be my dreams. Heard something
very nice. New York and Rome are possibly both going to be in the bidding for
the 2012 Olympics. Rome announced that if they are in the bidding with NY, they
will drop out and let NY have it so that unity can be brought to the City. We
can only hope that all the good that is here today will not diminish as time
passes.

Marge, we are all crying with you.
Talking with a good friend yesterday and he commented that the worst thing in
this is that there is no end. The pain and sorrow comes in waves, just like
the bad news of people lost. The weight of our country mourning, valiantly trying
to go on, and making the plans of war is taking a toll on all of us. We have
so many "happy" events in the next few weeks...a christening, a wedding, two
birthday parties and family reunion but no one's heart is in it anymore. We
will attend and I bet cry too, when we see the people near and dear, cherishing
them all the more for this living hell we were thrust upon. I am in the music
business and haven't played a single thing in this past week, but I know music
has been a comfort in the past and we all could use that now. Saturday we are
going to put on a brave face for the child in our life and press on to the family
get together. That very thing is the normalcy that will heal us the most. I
am glad you and Mr. Marge have each other to share all things, and hope you
can take some joy in anything you share this weekend.
Tish
USA - Thursday, September 20, 2001 at 07:03:58 (PDT)
You know...overall I guess I'm healing
from this mourning we are all sharing a little every day, but last night Mr.
Marge and I, again, cried ourselves to sleep. This morning I watched what they
call the 911 of the Marines, saying goodbye to their families. Watching some
holding their infants and small children in their arms. One putting his infant
down into the carriage and you could see the goodbye in his eyes. And that tiny
child sleeping soundlessly, oblivious to the fact that he may never see his
father or, may someday be fighting in the same war his father is going to. Again,
my tears flowed. Watching another dad hold his sun while the boy laughed and
played with daddy's hat brim. Again, not knowing what's going on. Everyday there
is something that rips your heart out and stomps on it. I think about my own
9 yr old nephew and my best friend's little 2 yr old grandson and already I
worry about them. This war could very well go on until they are old enough to
be in this god awful war we are about to enter into. I know I'm sounding very
bleak and sad and hopeless right now, and again I am crying. And someday I'll
listen to music again, something I never can do when I've been in mourning in
the past. But, it's really nice to be able to share these feelings with friends.
Thanks for listening guys.

No matter the age, this is a new generation of people who will NEVER forget.
Pray for those still doing the work too. I know some and it is grim and daunting.
If you think this will all pass by and no one will remember the heroes we do
today, check out some of the toy web sites. Under the section of REAL AMERICAN
HEROES, there are police, fireman and American soldiers. Saw some of the ball
games last night and marveled at the number of children at the stadiums. They
looked as serious and affected as the adults. Someday, instead of all the action

release. At the same time, the spokesperson defends "When The World Ends," calling

Numerologists must be having a field
day with a very eerie report making its way around the Internet. It starts with
the date of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon: Sept. 11,
or 9/11 — 9 + 1 + 1 = 11. Sept. 11 is the 254th day of the year — 2 + 5 + 4
= 11. After Sept. 11, there are 111 days left in the year. The Twin Towers,
standing side by side, always looked like the number 11. The first plane to
hit the towers was American's Flight 11. New York was the 11th state to join
the Union. There are 11 letters in New York City, Afghanistan and The Pentagon.
There were 92 people aboard Flight 11 — 9 + 2 = 11. There were 65 people on
American's Fight 77 — 6 + 5 = 11. And if all that weren't enough, the groundbreaking
for the Pentagon is said to have occurred on Sept. 11, 1941.

A Parking lot would be a significant

of my life time. (I'm 24 years old.) They defeated invaders from the British
Empire in the 19th Century and from the Soviet Union in the 20th Century. Now,
those countries gave up because they were fighting for territorial expansion
rather than self-defense. We have been attacked, and we will achieve our goals.
But it is better to respect your enemy for his capabilities than to disdain
him for his weaknesses. Let's not take anything for granted other than the fact
that the unity of this country behind our Armed Forces has never been more important.
We'll save the name calling and boasting for AFTER the job is done.

From the NY Times today: The spike
in the writer's popularity appeared to have been fueled by the Internet, where
Web sites and e- mail messages promoted the idea that he had foreseen Tuesday's
tragic events. One e-mail message that was widely circulated last week combines
sentence fragments from different passages in Nostradamus's writings with words
that were not his, to create a provocative text whose implication was impossible
to mistake: "In the year of the new century and nine months/ From the sky will
come a great King of Terror," the e-mail message read. "The sky will burn at
forty-five degrees. Fire approaches the great new city/ In the city of York,
there will be a great collapse/ 2 twin brothers torn apart by chaos/ while the
fortress falls the great leader will succumb/ third big war will begin when
the big city is burning."

Good evening everyone. Just checking
in. I am so far very lucky to have only known 7 people that perished (or are
on the missing list). I do however know dozens that are presently working ground
zero. Their spirits are ok, but I can hear the sadness in their voices. I have
attended two funerals this past week, and I am as angry as I am sad. I have
cried more often in these past 6 days then I have my entire life. It's getting
hard to even get off my ass to do anything. I cannot stop watching the news,
and waiting. Although not a church going man, I have said many prayers this
week, as you all have. We must all pray for ourselves, that we can pull out
of this sense of dread, and, rebuild. God bless all of you. God Bless America.

Nice sentiments Iz., and I might
add, a very cozy forum to air them, or should I say air them out. They seem
to foul the air we are breathing. Here's an idea! Why don't you find someone
who has lost a wife, or husband, kid, friend, etc. etc. in the attack, and share
your views with that person. I'm sure it will be a very cordial exchange. Or
try this! Go down to where the Trade Center used to be, and bounce your ideas
off the rescue workers. I meaningfull exchange will be forthcoming i'm sure.

Michael Jackson wants to raise
$50m (£34m): Michael Jackson has called together a group of some of the world's
leading pop stars to record a song in aid of the families of victims of last
week's suicide attacks in the United States. Jackson will be joined by, among
others, Britney Spears, Destiny's Child and Nick Carter of the Backstreet
Boys on the song What More Can I Give. They aim to raise about $50m (£34m)
for survivors and families of victims of the attacks on New York's World Trade
Center and the Pentagon in Washington. In a statement issued on Sunday, Jackson
said: "I believe in my heart that the music community will come together as
one and rally to the aid of thousands of innocent victims.

Izzy, you are so misguided as
to be parody. But I guess I was fool hearty when I was 15 too. (I hope you're
not much older than that.) It's okay that you don't get along with your father.
I'm sure he loves you in his own way. But someday you will feel terrible that
you put such a moronic reaction in print and then displayed it for others
to see. I'm sure the other regulars will be even harsher on you than I am
being now, but it really is time to stop clinging to such old and tired arguments.
Four hijacked planes killed 5,000 people last week. Say that out loud and
I'm sure you won't be as cavalier about the failings and frailties of American
Culture.

I have faith in the government.
We are smarter than them. I think that there is SO much behind the scenes
stuff going on right now, there is no way we can know it, or SHOULD know it.
For every snippet of information we get, there are 10,000 decisions and actions
going on. That's what I believe, and that belief comforts me. GeorgeW is a
figurehead, that's what the president is. He's been accused of having lots
of people around telling him what to do, and I think in this instance, it's
for our benefit, because he does have very smart people around, and between
them all, we will be OK. (My 2-cents).

Anti-Skell: The only lists I can
find so far are at CNN.com or msnbc.com. I believe these are only those confirmed
dead. I say that because Mr. Marge's son and daughter-in-law's best friend
was in the first tower hit. He called home and told his wife that something
had hit the building, he was ok, but had to try to get out. They've not heard
from him since. The CEO of the company he worked for, Cantor Fitzgerald, had
a meeting with all the families and said that because of their location, all
were lost. His memorial service is Wednesday. Also, up until last Dec., they
lived across the street from the pilot of Flight 175. He is on the list. His
funeral is tomorrow. They went to visit the family on Saturday.

Hi all. I just wanted to say that
to everyone that has someone they lost or missing, i will pray for you,and
to those that are helping ,i give you praise. I love on Long Island, and we
are still as shocked as everyone, I work at a local deli here in town and
we have raised a couple of hundred dollars and have taken tons of donations
that we have been giving to our local radio station and they have been taking
dump trucks filled with donations. I think it is wonderful that everyone is
pulling together to keep this one nation under god, but shouldnt we be like
this all the time? Why do we have to have terrorist attacks to bring us to
love one another? God bless everyone, everywhere,everyday. And to my dear
anti....I am safe, and I miss you so e mail me,ok? Take care everyone and
lets stay strong for our fellow americans who are losing hope,ok?

Here we are folks ,on Monday morning,
trying to get our lives back into a normal mode. Getting off the 'F' train
this morning at Rockefeller Center was strange in many ways,from the 'missing
persons' posters plastered on the subway walls to the absent street crowds
outside the NBC Today Show's studio. We will survive,but it will take a lot
of time. While watching the news shows last night with my wife, I called to
her attention something I had suddenly realized ... in the countless interviews
of parents, spouses,children or friends of the missing, I can't recall even
one instance of these people showing signs of anger or hated for those who
caused this. Maybe 'HOPE' is stil able to overpower all the other human emotions
for now. Let us all help continue this spirit of hope and the ability to get
along with our fellow citizens.

Marge, thank you a million times.
My husband is doing disaster recovery for his firm which is a brokerage/banking
firm. The stories behind the scenes would boggle your mind. Not a flag to
be found for sale, everyplace is sold out. Wearing the colors, saying the
prayers, and crossing my fingers the market is able to last the day. Still
smell it strongly in the air here in Soho. Sleeplessness is a small price
to pay when you are lucky enough to live. Your concern and words are so appreciated.

Something very beautiful just
happened. The NYSE just applauded the workers, victims, etc. and then had
2 mins. of silence. They then had someone sing God Bless America and then
some of rescue workers ring the bell to open the exchange. And, for the 100th
time, I cry. And, so is hubby, and my other broker. It is wonderful that they
put aside the financial for a moment for what's really important.

Hi Guys....Just a quick word:
The next time you are stuck in traffic or the bus / train / plane / ferry
is late or your car won't start.....don't get angry or upset. Instead, ask
yourself "What is God sparing me from?" My friends and family have been fortunate.
I could tell you of seven different instances where these people I know missed
certain doom my mere minutes. I'll spare you the details - And consider this:
Many of the people that have perished are now with God and His glory. They
wouldn't want to come back. Rest assured you will see your loved ones again.
I'm far from being a religious fanatic or Bible thumper, just a realist who
know the truth and has faith in God. Thanks for listening, God bless those
of you who are mourning and everyone who has yet to mourn.

C78, I know what you mean. I was
totally unhinged by witnessing the attacks and the immediate aftermath. I
wondered how I could ever function in a society that had become so raw, violent
and uncivilized. I have spent the last few days watching Israeli life and
how they live in a terrorist society, and reading how the English survived
the blitz. If they can/could do it, I know we can. I don't feel very strong
yet, but I am determined. Don't hesitate to consider purchasing respirator
masks if you must return to Manhattan to work tomorrow...they look like surgical
masks, are folded so they are easy to carry and can fit in your purse or back
pocket. We can never be ready for anything but my backpack will have a few
safety provisions, my ID, a pocket flashlight, and a bottle of water. Those
of you that don't work downtown may think my preparations are extreme, but

FLAG-FLYING HOLIDAYS
USA - Sunday, September 16, 2001 at 04:45:53 (PDT)
1. The flag of the United States
should be flown daily from sunrise to sunset in good weather from public buildings,
schools, permanent staffs, and in or near polling places on election days.
The flag may be displayed 24 hours a day on patriotic holidays or if properly
illuminated. 2. The flag should not be displayed on days when the weather
is bad, except when an all-weather flag is used. 3. The flag should always
be flown on national and state holidays and on those occasions proclaimed
by the President. On Memorial Day, the flag should be half staffed until noon.
4. The flag should be hoisted briskly and lowered ceremoniously. It should
never be dipped to any person nor should it ever be displayed with the union
down, except as a signal of dire distress. 5. The flag should never touch
anything beneath it, nor should it ever be carried flat or horizontally. 6.
It should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, drapery, or decoration,
nor for carrying or holding anything. 7. The flag should never be fastened,
displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to be easily torn, soiled,
or damaged. It should never be used as a covering for a ceiling. 8. The flag
should not be draped over the hood, top, sides, or back of a vehicle. When
a flag is displayed on a car, the flag's staff should be fixed firmly to the
chassis or clamped to the right fender. 9. The flag or its staff should never
be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. Nor should any
picture, drawing, insignia or other decoration be placed on or attached to
the flag, its staff, or halyard. 10. The flag should not be embroidered on
cushions, handkerchiefs, or other personal items nor printed on anything designed
for temporary use and discarded. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the
uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, or members of other patriotic
organizations. 11. When the flag is so worn or soiled that it is no longer
suitable for display, it should be destroyed in a dignified manner, preferably
by burning.

I AM THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA , My name is Old Glory. I fly atop the world's tallest buildings.
I stand watch in America's halls of justice. I fly majestically over institutions
of learning. I stand guard with power in the world. Look up and see me. I
stand for peace, honor, truth and justice. I stand for freedom. I am confident.
I am arrogant. I am proud. When I am flown with my fellow banners, my head
is a little higher, my colors a little truer. I bow to no one! I am recognized
all over the world. I am worshipped - I am saluted. I am loved - I am revered.
I am respected - and I am feared. I have fought in every battle of every war
for more then 200 years. I was flown at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Shiloh and
Appomattox. I was there at San Juan Hill, the trenches of France, in the Argonne
Forest, Anzio, Rome and the beaches of Normandy, Guam. Okinawa, Korea and
KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam know me, I was there. I led my troops, I was dirty,
battleworn and tired, but my soldiers cheered me, and I was proud. I have
been burned, torn and trampled on the streets of countries I have helped set
free. It does not hurt, for I am invincible. I have been soiled upon, burned,
torn and trampled on the streets of my country. And when it's by those whom
I've served in battle -- it hurts. But I shall overcome -- for I am strong.
I have slipped the bonds of Earth and stood watch over the uncharted frontiers
of space from my vantage point on the moon. I have borne silent witness to
all of America's finest hours. But my finest hours are yet to come. When I
am torn into strips and used as bandages for my wounded comrades on the battlefield;
when I am flown at half-mast to honor my soldier; or when I lie in the trembling
arms of a grieving parent at the grave of their fallen son or daughter, I
am proud. MY NAME IS OLD GLORY LONG MAY I WAVE. DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN: LONG MAY
I WAVE.

to cook for myself (outside of TV dinners. I remember their menu on the wall
which consisted of hadwritten and printed signs which slid into the brackets.
Everythin cost .85 or .95 cents. The food was so so but your plate was loaded
with about 2lbs. worth. Karl would sit in the corner, smoke and talk to certain
customer. His wife was gaunt and exhausted looking and did most of the work.
They served Fink bread with a pat of butter that was almost frozen and impossible
to use. I don't think there were more than 10 seats in the place and everthing
was available to take out. Thanks for this discovery.

old NY history from Coney Island to subways/trolleys to old ads and signs

i have in the last few days, hopefully there will be more, an again, i don't

The Govenor, Mayor, Fire Commissioner,
Police Commisoner and whomever else has asked that all of this stop. They
only want reports on actual things. Not what the news has been broadcasting.
This is causing undo pain to everyone and can be detrimental to the rescue
efforts. If it keeps up - they will arrest those offenders. Finally some justice
with the untrue reports on the news. I was so happy when they said survivors
found from first day. Then it turned out to be only rescue workers from Thursday.
My hope dropped. I think God those workers are OK, but it was a sign of hope
if it was from those on the first day. Then all the SOBs coming in and stealing.
Those making believe they have people there and having workers looking for
them. Putting names on databases of people who weren't there, or weren't found,
etc. Telemarketing firm asking for donations for WTC fund - isn't true. Scam.
Shame on all these people. I hope God punishes them. I know what you do to
others eventually at some point comes back to you, but sometimes it can take
awhile. Well, it should be immediate.

staggering around Ground Zero pretending to be fireman so they can be interviewed.
All those stories made me hopeful for the first time in days. They are cruel
bastards for breaking our hearts again.

Glad to see the amazing patience
and understanding most people are showing, both on the roads and the subways.
We all send our best to the rescue workers today ...because of last nights
heavy rains,every bucket of debris will now be three time heavier. I also
saw the story last night of the woman whose husband called on a cell phone
and said he was with 10 cops trapped in a WTC lower level.Haven't heard any
more about this ...hope this story was true and not someone whose goal was
to just get their face on TV.

Good Morning Marge. As you know
by the things I choose to write about here, and perhaps in some email you
have heard about, I cherish the past. Even as a child I recognized the strong
values born of hardships, that my family and most other Woodhaveners, endured
from the 30's, 40's and onward. The strength of their integrity and the resolve
of their patriotism was a result of struggle for freedom and survival from
wherever they came (other shores, lower Manhattan, etc.). Does anyone remember
when an American flag was hung out on every holiday? For family members birthdays?
I do. Sadly so much of this pride went away in the late 60's and was really
killed off after Watergate. I never felt we Americans ever got it together
after that. We all went on to that awful ME generation that excluded country
and community, but made fat bank accounts. For lots of understandable reasons,
the churches of many different faiths were abandoned. I remember several old
timers making comments like "what this country needs is a war". I used to
go ballistic when I heard comments like that, but I think I know what some
of them meant now. I cannot bear anymore bloodshed, and I cringe at what is
to come. Those of us spared are afraid that the next losses will be our own.
I don't want a war. But I can see that this country needed to come together
and be unified. How horrid that the very comment I fought against in my youth
has come to pass demonstrating the strength, focus and human compassion that
I suspected the rest of us always had. Marge, I do hope this new American
community lasts and would find it nearly impossible to imagine that anyone
can remain untouched or find it easy to return to complacency after our tragedy.
Last night I heard so many multi-cultural voices sing God Bless America. Technically,
it was awful with off-key notes mispronounced phrases, but it was perfection
in spirit...LOUD, SURE and STRONG. Our hearts are focused in the right place
and it will take much more than these attacks to kill that. I do not believe
anyone stands alone anymore.

Tonight I have witnessed one of
the most inspiring moments I have ever seen here in Woodhaven. Here, at 75
Street and 85 Road, gathered a large group of Woodhaveners. I heard voices
growing louder and was shocked to see people walking towards the center of
the street, most holding candles. I am limited to speaking only one language
but I heard many - Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese. I heard English
with many accents. I haven't left my home since the WTC disaster. I have been
wracked with grief and many tears after witnessing such a loss of life and
human cruelty. I truly wondered how I could ever walk the streets again. More
people gathered and I thought that the vigil was to mourn a neighbor. Fresh
tears came as I thought "dear God, not another". I flew down the stairs to
find out what I could and offer comfort. In the center of the ring of people
was a man with a booming voice. He appealed to everyone to recognize that
no matter the skin color or religion we all were, to remember we are all the
same and all in pain. Prayers were said, songs were sung, and I marveled that
all this happened on my very doorstep. The man that organized this impressive
evening is Francis Brosnan, a member of the NYPD. You may have seen his face
on the cover of the NY Times yesterday. He was bandaged then, and in a wheelchair.
His eyes were burned from the explosion. Yes, he was there and lost three
friends. I never met Francis and his wife and son before. I have lived on
my block for 8 years. They have lived here for 15 years. How is that possible?
Many of us introduced themselves for the very first time tonight. There was
talk of a block party so that the next time we gather it wouldn't be because
of loss and war. I am so grateful to him for pulling this group of people
together. Many Woodhaveners came from surrounding blocks to join us. A person
gathered the Spanish Woodhaveners together to be in a picture which is said
to be printed in the Leader Observer. I am going back outside now, and invite
anyone reading to come over and join us. The night is young, and there is
hope and love in our town.

It is obvious that life will never
be the same for 5,000+ families,but in midtown today the American spirit in
general and the New York spirit in particular lives on.The streets today are
again filled with taxis,trucks, and buses ...the sidewalks loaded with office
workers,tourists and Moms pushing baby carraiges.Along 3rd Avenue,the restaurant's
sidewalk cafes don't have an empty seat available. Despite this town's list
of shortcomings,I think every resident of NYC and it's close suburbs can hold
their head up high and be proud knowing that we will eventually overcome this
horrible crisis as we have countless before this.Having lived in Woodhaven,Howard
Beach,Ozone Park and Mineola through the years,I have often been annoyed because
of having the sound of a plane drown out a conversation or a punch line on
TV. Without that roar of a jet in the sky,these last 48 hours have taken on
an empty feeling that I never would have imagined.As far back as grammar school
we were told that America was one of the few countries in the world that gave
it's people the freedom to hop on a plane and travel without answering to
anyone ...hope that 'taken for granted freedom' will return soon. Finally,but
most important, please don't forget your prayers for those killed,injured,
missing,their families and the countless folks (all TRUE HEROS) working to
pick up the pieces including firemen,cops,bulldozer operators , search teams,
medical teams and countless others. THANK YOU ALL !!!

This was printed in yesterday's
Miami Herald. It is by Leonar Pitts. His Email is Leonardpitts@mindspring.com
We'll go forward from this moment It's my job to have something to say. They
pay me to provide words that help make sense of that which troubles the American
soul. But in this moment of airless shock when hot tears sting disbelieving
eyes, the only thing I can find to say, the only words that seem to fit, must
be addressed to the unknown author of this suffering. You monster. You beast.
You unspeakable bastard. What lesson did you hope to teach us by your coward's
attack on our World Trade Center, our Pentagon, us? What was it you hoped
we would learn? Whatever it was, please know that you failed. Did you want
us to respect your cause? You just damned your cause. Did you want to make
us fear? You just steeled our resolve. Did you want to tear us apart? You
just brought us together. Let me tell you about my people. We are a vast and
quarrelsome family, a family rent by racial, social, political and class division,
but a family nonetheless. We're frivolous, yes, capable of expending tremendous
emotional energy on pop cultural minutiae -- a singer's revealing dress, a
ball team's misfortune, a cartoon mouse. We're wealthy, too, spoiled by the
ready availability of trinkets and material goods, and maybe because of that,
we walk through life with a certain sense of blithe entitlement. We are fundamentally
decent, though -- peace-loving and compassionate. We struggle to know the
right thing and to do it. And we are, the overwhelming majority of us, people
of faith, believers in a just and loving God. Some people -- you, perhaps
-- think that any or all of this makes us weak. You're mistaken. We are not
weak. Indeed, we are strong in ways that cannot be measured by arsenals. IN
PAIN Yes, we're in pain now. We are in mourning and we are in shock. We're
still grappling with the unreality of the awful thing you did, still working
to make ourselves understand that this isn't a special effect from some Hollywood
blockbuster, isn't the plot development from a Tom Clancy novel. Both in terms
of the awful scope of their ambition and the probable final death toll, your
attacks are likely to go down as the worst acts of terrorism in the history
of the United States and, probably, the history of the world. You've bloodied
us as we have never been bloodied before. But there's a gulf of difference
between making us bloody and making us fall. This is the lesson Japan was
taught to its bitter sorrow the last time anyone hit us this hard, the last
time anyone brought us such abrupt and monumental pain. When roused, we are
righteous in our outrage, terrible in our force. When provoked by this level
of barbarism, we will bear any suffering, pay any cost, go to any length,
in the pursuit of justice. I tell you this without fear of contradiction.
I know my people, as you, I think, do not. What I know reassures me. It also
causes me to tremble with dread of the future. In the days to come, there
will be recrimination and accusation, fingers pointing to determine whose
failure allowed this to happen and what can be done to prevent it from happening
again. There will be heightened security, misguided talk of revoking basic
freedoms. We'll go forward from this moment sobered, chastened, sad. But determined,
too. Unimaginably determined. THE STEEL IN US You see, the steel in us is
not always readily apparent. That aspect of our character is seldom understood
by people who don't know us well. On this day, the family's bickering is put
on hold. As Americans we will weep, as Americans we will mourn, and as Americans,
we will rise in defense of all that we cherish. So I ask again: What was it
you hoped to teach us? It occurs to me that maybe you just wanted us to know
the depths of your hatred. If that's the case, consider the message received.
And take this message in exchange: You don't know my people. You don't know
what we're capable of. You don't know what you just started. But you're about
to learn.

That Canadian editorial is actually
30 years old. It was written during the Vietnam war. (Those are the references
to War mongering America and draft dodgers on their streets.) It's kind of
chilling to read it and realize that it easily could have been written a week
ago. Some of the airplanes he mentions are outdated and there now some European
conglomorates that do make commercially viable airplanes. The San Fransico
Quake that he refers to was the 1906 Quake, which 30 years ago was still used
at the standard, common reference to an unspeakable traqedy. It's sad to think
how many terrible things have eclipsed that since, including a 1989 Earthquake
in the same city. That editorial floats around the Chain Email circuit every
6 months or so. I read it every time, but never has it given me more comfort
than when I read it today. We will be all right. Eventually.

A co-worker just sent this to me
from a Canadian newspaper. Finally!!!!! Always did like Canada America: The
Good Neighbor. Widespread but only partial news coverage was given recently
to a remarkable editorial broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian
television commentator. What follows is the full text of his trenchant remarks
as printed in the Congressional Record: "This Canadian thinks it is time to
speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least appreciated
people on all the earth. Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and
Italy were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions
of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of these countries is today
paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States. When France
was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up,
and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. I
was there. I saw it. When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the United States
that hurries in to help. This spring, 59 American communities were flattened
by tornadoes. Nobody helped. The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped
billions of dollars! into discouraged countries. Now newspapers in those countries
are writing about the decadent, warmongering Americans. I'd like to see just
one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States
dollar build its own airplane. Does any other country in the world have a plane
to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If
so, why don't they fly them? Why do all the International lines except Russia
fly American Planes? Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a
man or woman on the moon? You talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios.
You talk about German technocracy, and you get automobiles. You talk about American
technocracy, and you find men on the moon -! not once, but several times - and
safely home again. You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs right
in the store window for everybody to look at. Even their draft-dodgers are not
pursued and hounded. They are here on our streets, and most of them, unless
they are breaking Canadian laws, are getting American dollars from ma and pa
at home to spend here. When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking
down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania
Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose.
Both are still broke. I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to
the help of other people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone
else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help
even during the San Francisco earthquake. Our neighbors have faced it alone,
and I'm one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them get kicked around.
They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they
are entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating over their present
troubles. I hope Canada is not one of those." Stand proud, America!

The WTC center was a horrific act
of violence. I was there. My building is right next to the center. We were in
the office and heard the big boom. We didnt' know what it was at first. We looked
out the window and saw debris falling. At first we thought it was a bomb. Then
the reports started coming in about a plane hitting. People in just arriving
at our office saw it, couldn't believe it. The plane was so low, then boom,
right into the North Tower. We started to evacuate. We couldn't believe it.
Wondered what went wrong with the plance. By the time we got to t he lobby,
the 2nd one hit. That was it. We got out of there. We looked up at the North
Tower and saw the gaping hole. My God. It was horrible. You seen the smoke and
some fire - the blackness. Even saw what looked like part of a plane. We all
went North. Looked back and saw the South Tower. The flames were all over. No-one
above that could have gotten down. As well as no-one where the planes hit could
have survived. Started to think - alot of people who did start to make their
way down in the South Tower after the first plane hit - had to be around the
location of where the 2nd plane hit. I felt really sick. Now we knew - this
was no accident. We had to get out of there. Turned around a few times, until
we realized people were actually jumping out because they couldn't escape. They
rather jump to their death!! I just felt like collapsing. Proceeded North. Everytime
a plane was heard overhead, you ducked any loud bang, you jumped. Finally realized
the planes were the fighter jets. Relieved they were there. Everyone in the
city was great. Talking, using cell phones (of those that still worked) to help
others contact family. Trucks and cars had their radios on blasting, so everyone
could hear. Next thing the Pentagon gets hit. Oh My God!!! We're going to war.
This is not suppose to happen here. They just made The United States of America
look like their country. They are bringing their problems here now. South Tower
collapses, North Tower collapses. Nothing there. Emptiness. All the thousands
and thousands of lives of innocent people murdered. All the rescurers murdered.
Walked further North - uptown. As you got further away from WTC, you saw more
police. Started asking questions, said we had to go over 59th St Bridge. All
subways down, Penn Sta evacuated just after we arrived. No LIRR service. No
service. Across 59th St Bridge - into Long Island City. People getting rides
from cars/trucks on the bridge. Saw a pregnant woman, a man was helping her.
Hopefully a car or truck stopped and picked her up. Walked parts of Long Island
City. Each step I felt like just stopping. Kept thinking. I want to get home,
want to see my family - that kept me going. Finally the 7 train was running.
Tried to get on platform - they had the turnstyles locked. Token Booth clerk
wouldn't open up, said no service. People arguing with him - trains are passing
in both directions now. People started hopping the turnstyles or going under.
Token clerk got on the phone and finally opened the turnstyles, and DO YOU BELIEVE,
the F*#*#* city made us pay! At the time, I didn't think to argue or anything.
I just wanted to get home. Got further away from Long Island City, where my
husband was able to pick us up. My cell phone (AT&T) didn't work at all. Must
have come from the North Tower Antenna. Person I was with had Verizon. Thank
god, when we got further away from the WTC, it finally worked. That was how
we reached all our families. Everything was in slow-motion. It was like you
were watching a movie. This couldn't be true. I know alot of people complained
that the city didn't help with people leaving. But the majority of police were
stationed at 14th Street to stop people from enetering or were at the trade
center. Or they were stationed at other intervals to prevent people from entering
certain buildings or areas, as well as controlling traffic that was much worse
than normal. I'm asked by all if I was scared during all of this. And I can
honestly tell them "NO". It never entered my mind to be scared. I just wanted
to get out of there - get home to my family. The closer I got to home was when
the tears started. TV is on constantly, hoping they pull out survivors. Everytime
they the WTC on fire, the 2nd lane hitting, people jumping, the buildings collapsing,
relatives and friends looking for loved ones, the rescuers (fireman/police/nurses/drs)
being mentioned - I just cry. Everytime my son comes in the room I'm in, I hug
him. I am so thankful that I am here. My building is still standing, but they
aren't sure about the structural integrity. I know there are holes in the side
and that there was damage to roof too. Also there were a few fires that broke
out also. It is filled with water up to the lobby. They think the foundation
is gone. I know there are many other buildings around that have gone down, might
go down or are badly damaged. This is something that I will never ever forget.
I do not need a picture to see. It is imprinted in my mind forever. My prayers
and thoughts are with all of those people that survived. My special prayers
and thoughts are with those that have family and friends that are still missing.
I am praying to God that there are miracles. We always have hope. Without that
there isn't anything. I extend my deepest sympathies and prayers to those families
who had loved ones that were lost. I just hope that the American Government
stands behind what they said "they will get the people responsible for this
and any country harboring them".

who signed up to give blood; those who lent others their cell phones to make

Yesterday when I heard about the
Palestinian people celebrating, my blood began to boil. Then a few hours later
I saw the actual footage and my reaction would better be described as numbness.
It's just part of the tragedy to think that these people could rejoice at the
death of others. Then it occurred to me that they have been (at least in their
minds) at War for over 50 years. And they believe that we as a country are responsible
for the loss of their homeland and the countless deaths of their loved ones.
They are hardened and even their children have a warrior mentality. Our revenge
will be swift, sure and terrible. We will wreak devastation on a massive scale.
It is entirely proper that we do so, given the gravity of the attack on our
soil yesterday. But let us never, no matter how grand our own sense of loss,
ever become a country of people who take joy in death or who celebrate destruction.
For most of our history, we have been a peaceful nation and proud of our hesitation
to wage war. When Times Square filled with Revelelrs in 1945, they were celebrating
a Surrender, not the destruction of Hisoshima and Nagasaki. I know that we all
want revenge, and more than a few of us are feeling thirsty for blood, immediately.
But when the blood comes, let's not take pride in it. If the United States is
reduced to a nation of war mongers, if we take satisfaction in the destruction
of our enemies, then that that will be the worst defeat in our long and glorious
history.

I have just read a memo by Mr. Marge's
son to his employees. He is the founder/Chairman and CEO of V-SPAN, a video-conferencing
network management company. A start-up in 1995 with 3 desks, 1 card table, 2
labtops, 1 analog phone and on black lab. Don't know and won't bore you with
numbers now, but they are big. He's been a great success. Motto: Communications..Anyplace@Anytime.
This memo has been the best thing I've heard or read since yesterday morning.
It actually brought me to tears. Maybe because I know the writer. I'd like to
share it: To the V-SPAN Team: In this time of crisis and American tragedy, our
first thoughts must be in support of those who have directly been impacted by
the horrendous series of events. The world will never be the same. We must also
reflect and very strongly resolve to effect change that will lead to harmony
among people of the world. That said, we must rigidly defend our freedoms, because
to return to "business as usual" is to ignore the reality that we are under
siege. Get involved, listen, and take personal action to effect change! V-SPAN'S
infrastructure was not and has not been affected adversely in any way by the
attack. V-SPAN's services will be integrel to how the worlds' people and businesses
react to the situation, communicate and continue on from here. We at V-SPAN
will be called upon to take on significantly increased volume levels in the
coming weeks and months for our customers. By personally performing with excellence
during this time, V-SPAN can make a contribution to the way the world will change.
Since yesterday, The FAA has suspended all US air travel. We have also learned
that many businesses have banned travel altogether as a matter of safety for
employees. V-SPAN will not allow any air travel until October 1, 2001 (except
for those who must return to base). We will review this policy thereafter. A
formal travel policy will be posted on our web site later this afternoon. Blood
drives will be needed as a method of civic support for a number of weeks..this
is another way to become involved. Please click on the attached link to find
a nearby locatoin. V-SPAN will offer comp time if you give blood (your supervisor
will give you the time off). The events of yesterday are of worldwide concern.
Let us all remember the spirits of the lives lost...

Just a few things I would like to
say. I had no fear about coming back into Manhattan today ...I don't know if
fear was overpowered by anger,shock or disbelief that this really happened.Here
in quiet mid-town people are walking around 'normally',but looking closely you
can see their faces reveal otherwise. I am 54 and this will add to the list
of important events that will be forever stamped in my mind as to just where
I was when I 'heard the news'. In 1963 myself and Steve Antonacci were in Dr.
Jacoby's office on Forest Parkway getting treatments on our knees when the news
of JFK's death came. While in the 59 St. General Motors Building,I heard of
the Challenger explosion, the first WTC terrorist attack and the assasination
attempt on Pres. Regan.. Several years ago we took my daughter back to college
in Salisbury,Md. after her Easter vacation and while stopped at a Friendly Ice
Cream in Delaware for breakfast heard the news of the Oklahoma City bombing.
Finally and ironically,yesterday I had called my dispatch desk located in Oklahoma
City to get my work and she asked if I had recently spoken to my supervivor
as NYC had a major crisis developing at the Trade Center. It seems like the
human brain will lock in many tragic moments of ones life ...but thankfully
if I take an inventory, the wonderful moments overpower these events.

I am sad and fearful that so many
high-ranking people speak of retaliation against the perpetrators of yesterday's
outrage. I'm just back from a four day conference of concerned citizens in Switzerland,
involving Palestinians, Czechs, Poles, Russians, Hungarians, Slavs, Macedonians,
Turks, Pakistanis, Congolese, Americans, Germans, English, Irish, etc. We discussed
globalisation and the causes of the various conflicts around the globe. The
Americans who were present received most criticism. Their defence was uniformly
the same; namely that the American people did not know what was being done around
the globe in their name. Furthermore, totalitarian materialists had control
of both government and media in almost all countries to such an extent that
real democracy had been eclipsed. Immensely wealthy, secretive, powerful and
ideologically driven minorities had orchestrated most conflicts. The question
was put to the Americans as to how many thousands of billions of U.S. dollars
had been supplied in aid to Israel. It was classified information. Meanwhile
Palestinian women giving birth were being refused passage to hospital and were
dying at Israeli checkpoints. There was no education, their houses bulldozed
or expropriated, no jobs, no future for Palestinians, and this in their own
country! Was it any surprise, we were asked, that there were plenty of suicide
bombers?

Dan and Anti-Skell: You've both,
and others, have had some nice things to say today, especially you Dan with
the prayer. The posting of the story of "Our Flag" was beautiful. I can't tell
you how I cried when my sister finally got home last night. She and a co-worker
took the ferry to Hoboken, then she took the train to Princeton Junction, then
a cab to her car. What a relief. She is feeling today like the day of her husband's
funeral. I wanted to just drive up and hug her. I may do that later yet, but
while the market is closed, I am in the office manning phones and paperwork,
but my heart is not in any of it. I'm having trouble concentating, as are most
of us. We have 6 PaineWebber people missing. I have a friend that works for
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter (she is the black friend that I spoke of previously
that I've known since 1965) that I've emailed and not received a response from
yet. I'm getting worried. Her daughter works there too. It seems that Mr. Marge's
son and daughter-in-law will have 2 memorial services to attend. The pilot of
flight 175 that crashed into the 2nd tower was a former neighbor. Mr. Marge's
granddaughters cried after talking to their old friends (the 2 kids left behind).
Also, their best friends wife had heard from her husband right after the first
tower was hit. He worked on the 104th floor of the 1st tower. He said something
happened to the building, he was ok, but trying to get out. They've not heard
from him. Oh, these poor, poor people. I can't even imagine the horror of being
in those buildings while this was all happening.

Hi Everyone: Well, here we are on
the day after the most horrific tragedy our country has seen. This is like 4
major plane crashes, the bombing of Oklahoma City and Pearl Harbor all in one...only
worse. We will now go on to protect our Freedoms, as we must, by killing other
innocent people, with follow-up retaliation on U.S. soil mostly likely to happen
again. When I layed in bed last night, feeling guilty falling asleep, I thought
how I'd lost my sense of security in my room and my home because of the incident
with our garage. And, I thought how we've all lost our sense of, if not total,
security. This is a tragic loss for NY, DC, PA, all the victims, their families,
our country, society and the peoples of the world. When will it end, and how?
God, only knows while he watches as we destroy ourselves as a civilization,
all in the name of....PEACE! Some religious person said this morning that "there
is a reason for this and we will find out why and when God is ready for us to
know". Hollow words unless we obtain world-wide peace forever. What good reason
could there be for all these mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, son's and
daughters and friends to be blown away and gone...forever, by power-hungry lunatics.
What a world we live in. Like all sadness and loss, hopefully, this too shall
pass. However, I'm scared to say, I think we are in for more horrific times.
If not right now, someday, sometime, again when we least expect it. I fear they
will not go away.

The latest news said that between 300-400 firemen and 40-70 cops are still unaccounted
for,but no names have been given out of those killed except for a few NYFD top
brass and the Catholic FD chaplin. Anyone who has small kids as well as we adults
will hopefully learn that the real heros in life are not the whinning multi-millionaires
who get paid for hitting or dribbling a ball,but rather the family men who gave
their lives in an attempt to rescue others. Keep those prayers coming for all

Question to the group....Is anyone
sure this was a Mideast terrorist attack? I mean, could it be a Timothy McTimmons
thing? God, I hope it wasn't one of our people. And if it is a Mideast thing,
I hope we have the sense enough to take their entire country(s). Eliminating
one or two leaders will only serve to have other maniacs take their place. The
way I see it, is to simply wipe out all life in those countries, clean up the
mess, and raise our flag. If it was the act of our people, God save us. PS:
To all of you: My sympathies. I used to work there, I saw the towers being built
and literally spent every working day for 10 years going past, in or around
them. I myself, have probably lost a lot of old friends, but that remains to
be seen. I'm not trying to preach, but consider this: Before you fight, say
or do something to your wife, loved one or family or friends, take a moment
to think that it may be the last time you ever see that person. In other words,
appreciate life and tell your mate that you love them, everyday. God Bless you
all............

bombing on Feb. 26, 1993. Leftist Liberals, as a rule, do not condone mixing
church and state. These fanatics who have twice attacked that architectural
nightmare of the Twin Towers are more Conservative than Liberal- my way or the

up in Federal prison for the rest of their natural lives. And please, anyone

gave Your children. Please let this tragedy remind us that we are all an eye-blink
away from eternity, and help us to choose our words wisely - when dealing with
loved ones. Bless the rescuers as they fight to save Your children, and receive,
with open arms, the innocent souls and the ones that have accepted the Word
of God. We ask this in Jesus precious name, Amen.

What a nightmare! I was at the airport
when it all happened and all hell broke loose because we had several departures
which could have become the next hijack victims. All flights returned and cancelled.
Manhattanites had no idea where to go. Not to mention out of towners. My kids
all have kids in their classes whose parents work there. One lady said her husband
called her from the 109th floor after the 2 planes crashed and said he couldn't
get down, then the building collapsed. God help us all.

I AM THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA I am the flag of the United States of America. My name is Old Glory.
I fly atop the world's tallest buildings. I stand watch in America's halls of
justice. I fly majestically over institutions of learning. I stand guard with
power in the world. Look up and see me. I stand for peace, honor, truth and
justice. I stand for freedom. I am confident. I am arrogant. I am proud. When
I am flown with my fellow banners, my head is a little higher, my colors a little
truer. I bow to no one! I am recognized all over the world. I am worshipped
- I am saluted. I am loved - I am revered. I am respected - and I am feared.
I have fought in every battle of every war for more then 200 years. I was flown
at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Shiloh and Appomattox. I was there at San Juan
Hill, the trenches of France, in the Argonne Forest, Anzio, Rome and the beaches
of Normandy, Guam. Okinawa, Korea and KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam know me, I was
there. I led my troops, I was dirty, battleworn and tired, but my soldiers cheered
me, and I was proud. I have been burned, torn and trampled on the streets of
countries I have helped set free. It does not hurt, for I am invincible. I have
been soiled upon, burned, torn and trampled on the streets of my country. And
when it's by those whom I've served in battle -- it hurts. But I shall overcome
-- for I am strong. I have slipped the bonds of Earth and stood watch over the
uncharted frontiers of space from my vantage point on the moon. I have borne
silent witness to all of America's finest hours. But my finest hours are yet
to come. When I am torn into strips and used as bandages for my wounded comrades
on the battlefield; when I am flown at half-mast to honor my soldier; or when
I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent at the grave of their fallen
son or daughter, I am proud. MY NAME IS OLD GLORY LONG MAY I WAVE. DEAR GOD
IN HEAVEN: LONG MAY I WAVE.

Hi,it's me. Jim & Tish, glad you're
ok. I've spoken to my sister several times and she's ok now. We were both crying
together on the phonoe. I was so glad to hear her voice. she's still stuck there
and they went out and got food too. Everything seems ok in Woodhaven. Mr. Marge's
son's old neighbor in Yardley, pa was a pilot on one of the planes that was
hyjacked and crashed. He is now in Princeton with their closes friends wife
who's husband works (worked?) at the WTC on the top floors. They've not heard
from him yet. There were actually bodies flying out of the WTC before they went
down. When people talked to their loved ones, you could hear screaming in the
background. Some said that they were dying up there. This had to be inside jobs
with the airline employees. How else could alll those terrorists have gotten
on the planes with all those guns. We can't even get on with a belt or camera.
Mr. Marge and I went out and stocked up some on food and he got some cash out
of the bank. We are trying to find out where to donate blood and we may offer
our new truck for use if needed. I just can't wait to get my sister back to
her home. This is so awful there are no words to express how horrific this really
is. Peace...what an illusive dream it is. Our poor children that have to live
through this disgust. Dear God, those poor victims..those poor families.

Because I have to laugh and because

some provisions sent in for the people that are staying here and for their friends
and relatives that are on the way out of downtown to my office. I told my receptionist
to call out for boxed cereal, more milk and soymilk, cheese, fruit etc. They
just delivered BEAUTIFUL trays of cheese and crackers with various fruits and
breads. UNREAL! Only in the middle of a holocaust/war can you get such pretty
things. Manhattan sure knows how to keep its class under the worst circumstances!
In general, we have nice music playing now, and I see evidence of beer around.
People are trying to relax and it is hard to do while all this is on TV. Even
harder to look out our windows. Keep hearing jets overhead and so help me, I
duck a little when they are over me. I may never feel safe when a plane is overhead

Everything is closed. Power was cut

live in Brooklyn are walking together home. We Queens folk are staying here
for a while. I remember reading that lots of people went to Central Park the
first time the WTC was hit in 1993. Of course, every alert is out for other
congested Manhattan spots, like Times Square. Watching tv with everyone and
seeing all the amusement parks in the country being closed - even the Mall of

Just came from outside. A few delis

The wind changed while I was walking and the smoke, and the smell, are awful.
Squads of cops walking the streets, likewise the downtown/Wall Streeters walking
past me on their way uptown. The sky is blue and the weather is pretty and this
is the worst day I have ever seen in my life. It IS a war zone and so deeply

If you think it's been an embarrassing

shark ripped an arm off a boy in Florida. A second destroyed a swimmer's leg
in the Bahamas. A third inflicted a fatal 17-inch gash on a boy in Virginia.
A fourth killed a man in North Carolina and tore off his girlfriend's foot.
There have been dozens of lesser attacks, but you get the picture. Sharks have

sat by the pool, swam and drank too much. Some notes: Thank you to Nostalgic
for the great compliments. KEN SEZ: I too loved Bobby Darin and Mack The Knife
is one of my all-time favorites. I go nuts when I hear it and sing-a-long. Mr.
Marge laughs. You guys mentioned the group Yess. My sister saw them at Madison
Square Garden in their Symphonic Tour. Said it was terrific. Dan: One of my
favorite sing-a-long and feel good songs is Up On The Roof. Speaking of Roy
Orbison. Had dinner last winter at a friends house with some other guests who
all had to be in their late 50's to early 60's and after dinner he put on the
video of the concert with Springstein and a whole bunch of other big performers
(help me here Jim) and we were all singing and lovin' it. It was about 12:30-1
a.m. and snowing outside like crazy, but we didn't care. We watched that video
until it was over at around 1:30. Nothin' like that old feel good music.

After 1 month, I'm finally able to
get back into the website. What happened to all the regulars? Marge - how was
your vacation? Did you go somewhere exciting? Jim - glad you had a great time
at "Cookie's" son's wedding. Yes, my ears were burning that weekend. Bet you,
Cathy, & Cookie had lots to catch up on. Bob C. - don't know Rosemary - just
from what Jim B told me in the past. She sounds super. Glad you found her. The
only connection we have is that we both went to St. Sylvester's. I was only
there for 1 ½ years then on to STA. Last week on cable they were showing clips
on Metro NY from Queens. Was surprised to see the old "Roosevelt" Theater. Didn't
think anyone remembered it. Also the Keats & Valencia theaters. Jahns of course,
but mostly clips from the Bayside area, including the 2 World's Fairs in Flushing.
Brought back many memories.

Anti-skell....what a real loser.
I simply asked if anyone on this site still shares old memories or are all of
the posts(for the most part) ridiculous.But a jerk like you has to be sarcastic
and think he's being funny. I guess this site is now for losers like you that
have no friends and were picked on their whole lives and probably still are.
come and lie to each other and act successful and rich.Well heres news for you..if
you have accomplished so much and are so well off,you are afraid to say who
you are.Anyone who is successful, has enough confidence in themselves to say
who they really are.So I guess that blows all of your lies out of the water.
And to all of the visitors who come to this site for the right reasons...GOOD

MONT- The reason that the suicide
rate south of the Mason-Dixon line is higher is because of that 'real country'
music. It's downright depressing,almost as bad as real Irish folk music. But
when I listen to Shania's CD in my car, I feel very happy. Yes officer, you
are stopping me because I'm driving with this silly grin on my face. KEN- You
better stock up on Dylan's music before he totally loses it. In an interview
in today's papers about Bob's new CD he says he was put on this earth to write
music the same as the Wright brothers were put here to invent the airplane and
Edison was put here to invent the telephone. Bob, Edison was the electric guy
...An Alexander Bell had something to do with the phones. Just think, Wall Street

Mick - I listened to the CD on the
way to the Golf Course today and believe it or not listened to My Back Pages
at least 4 times. It gives me goosebumps, when Harrison, chimes in. What a great
song. Imagine, having THAT cast of players gathering to sing your songs. Words
fail me. Mont, Rivers always plays here when he tours, and his show is good.
I am a Big J.R. fan. I think his album Realization is one of the unheralded
GREAT, GREAT, albums from the 60's (69), and his Whiter Shade Of Pale, off of
that album (also on the anthology) is as great, I think, as the original. More
Later!

Rivers! I hear he does great shows and sounds as good as he ever did, but plays

on Oldies radio but ranks up there with his best.

yes Ken i would have shot my way
in to the Garden that night.And Clapton did bring down the house.I was kinda
hoping for WILBURYS to perform and that did not happen.But we can argue who
sounded better and all that but i think you would agree if you were there that
when CLAPTON,NEILYOUNG,ROGER MCGUINN,TOM PETTY AND DYLAN AND OTHERS ALL TOOK
A TURN ON THE LEAD AND VOCALS ON MY BACK PAGES NOW THAT MADE A GUY CRY.Another
highlight for me was waiting a turn on stage in the dark you seen nothing but
a hat and then the spotlight went on and you seen a sawed off guitar and JOHNNY
WINTER walked out and took us all down to "HIGHWAY61".IVE seen hundreds of shows
literally and that is a stand out.Another similar one i was fortunate enough
to be at was when all types of blues artists played the garden for JOHN LEE

Yes Dan - I've heard that complaint
'bout Bob's voice, and I understand it. I myself, am very comfortable with his
voice, kind oflike an old buddy, or an old pair of shoes. If you want to get
an album of his songs by other people that is excellent, I am at this moment
listening to A Nod To Bob. Renderings of some of his lesser known songs by a
current crop of, I suppose lesser known names in the folk community. It is top
notch. Also there is a CD of the MSG 30th anniversary celebration of his career,
in which many well known names in the music world do his songs. This CD is nothing
less than GREAT!! Clapton's version of "Don't Think Twice" is worth the price
alone. Nice talkin' to ya Dan. More Later

to drive...after a war. Heard the Springsteen album. Very good. Very poetic.

Ken Sez

Dan - No i'm aware of the songwriting
portfolio of Carole King, its prolific and brilliant, I just put her a small
step behind the man, Dylan, but any argument for King has to be welcomed with
respect. Mike - If Dion ever performed out here I would be first in line to
see/hear him. If you had to pick one voice and say that's the voice of R and
R for me it would be Dion. Dan i'm not the biggest Springsteen fan in the world
either, but I haver to give him his due. He has made some great music. Her is
a hint. Get his Ghost of Tom Joad CD. Bare, basic, cut back folky. I think it's
one of the finest releases in last 20 yrs. It's very Dylanesque though and if
Bob isn't your cup of tea you might not like it. If he is your cup of tea, you'll
love it. More later
Ken Sez
USA - Saturday, September 08, 2001 at 15:34:53 (PDT)
Ken...I've been lurking the board..not
posting. You probably don't know all of the tunes Carole King wrote. MANY of
the great songs of the 60's were hers. AND, by the way, I said POSSIBLY. I was
complimenting her....Mancini, the Dorseys, Lennon/McCartney were all great.
Carol King's songs are kind of buried. She wrote stuff for other artists and
a lot of people don't know that they are actually listening to a Carol King
tune when they hear "Up on The Roof". I can back you up on the bass/vocal thing.
I was in bands for a long time and never came across someone who could sing
and play bass well TOGETHER. It's tough to follow (in your head) two different
clefs. Piano and keyboardists (like your Mom and mine) seem to have no problem
controlling both hands, but when your hand is playing bass and you are singing
melody, it's tough indeed. By the way: How do you know a musician is at your
door?...............He says "Domino's". P.S. A STATEMENT: "Born To Run" is most
likely the song that is the most definitive of the term "Rock & Roll" (although
I really don't like Springsteen). Second to that would be Helter Skelter or
I Saw Her Standing There (now THAT'S bass playing!!!)
Dan
UPSTATE, NY USA - Saturday, September 08, 2001 at 15:02:15 (PDT)
Ken, MONT, Jim, et al: Good Answers!
I do believe, however, that Jimmy Els favorite song at Marshalls upon returning
from Nam was Procol Harum's "Whiter Shade of Pale." HB Pete's car was a tan
'61 Olds. You answered my next question, cause I had no clue, was Eddie Bay
still alive? On another point, all this discussion about singers and not a mention
of one of my favorites, Roy Orbison. Had a chance to see him at a great venue,
West. Conn. St U. at an outdoor concert, months before he died. What a classic!
Mont, I think I may have mentioned to you, a great guy to still see, Johnny
Maestro. What Im keeping my eyes and ears open for is the return of Dion to
Atlantic City. Supposedly he had a phenomonal(?) response last time he was there,
about a year ago. Another guy I'd like to see is Ben E. King and truly for the
goof, James Brown.

at Jerry Lynch's in Belmar, NJ as the band played a 20 minute sing-a-long rendition
of 'Sweet Caroline'? Your voice dried out so badly that you needed 3 beers to
bring it back in shape again. Great marketing !!

your comment about McCartney's bass. He was brilliant. Nice to know other's
notice little things like that. Also i've been playing and singing in bands
for years, and just for the record the single hardest thing to do is play bass
and sing. Can I get a witness on that anyone???

Righteous Bros. are not in Hall as I was to hear Neil Diamond is not. Yes I
come down hard on Neil but I do believe there is a place for him in Hall, if
for nothing else, for his first 10 yrs work. Add that to his next 20 yrs (which
I despise, yet I know millions love) and you can't reasonably keep him out.
Shocked that Righteous Bros. are not in, so much so that I have to ask you,
are you sure of that. A case also can be made for Hall and Oates. They were
great for 10 yrs, made many great recordings.

years of hits on the charts (albeit with many great hits ) Whereas a guy like
Diamond is around for close to 40 years and can't get in. Heres where I start
trouble again: Why aren't the Righteous Brothers and Hall & Oates in the hall???

Dan - Yes Carole King was a great
songwriter, one of the best. But most proficient of the century? I can't agree
with you on that one. My on opinion on that is that there has never been a greater
songwriter than Dylan. His output is incredibly prolific, he was a wonderful
tunesmith, and do I even have to mention his words. I never bothered, like so
many of my contemporaries to get into that, trying to figure out what he was
saying stuff. I think that helped me enjoy him even more. Having said all that,
i'm also gonna say this. Guys of our generation like to say that this guy, or
that girl is the greatest songwriter ever, and it's always someone from our
generation. I'm as guilty as anyone for that. But different times bring different
kinds of songs, and we do the Gershwins, Berlins, Porters, and Kerns, a disservice
when we forget them. They wrote great, great songs. Just listen to I'll Be Seeing
You sometime and picture a soldier overseas fighting WWII, and think how meaningful
that song must have been to millions no tens of millions of people. What you
said 'bout John Phillips could not have been more true. Anyone who does not
have a copy of Mamas And Papas greatest should rush right out and get it. Some,
no, many of the greatest songs, and importantly arrangements of the 60' and
70's. He was REALLY a genius!!!! Where have you been Dan???

Bobby Darin's Mack The Knife is still
my favorite song after 42 yrs. I remember in 1959, when I was 12, going to bed
with the covers over my head and listening to the sounds of the likes of The
Five Satins, Mello Kings, Everly Bros., but the greatest song of all, at least
to me was Mack The Knife. It was nr 1 locally for 18 wks in a row on WMGM, and
I remember feeling like a friend died when it was knocked off it's perch by
Theme From A Summer Place. That brought us into 1960, my teen years, and a whole
world was about to explode, musically, from the Beatles, thru the Stones, CSNY,
Beach Boys, Procol Harum, Dylan, Clapton, Zep, and on, and on. And I guess that's
what i've been doing, going on and on. More Later!!!

No i knew it.I know alot about music.Shut
my mind off to anything much new in and since the eighties.Ive heard decent
stuff but nothing like the classics.To each their own.But if you start putting
people like that together you can stump till the cows come home.So if ya cant
live and learn,i just keep to myself.I dont take a status thing or attitude
about what i know.Im a big DYLAN Fan and i love to see who backed up who and
im always seeking the credits.Thats a good one.I like stuff like that such as
Jerry Garcia playing guitar on TEACH YOUR CHILDREN or heres another rare one
that is like night and day...JIMMY PAGE on guitar with Tom Jones on IT'S NOT
UNUSUAL, now thats an oddball one.Im only in my thirties but like baseball i
made it a point growing up to learn about stuff before my time.I know lots some
don't and some know lot's i dont and i enjoy it very much.I have a wide listening
range wider than most,hard to pick favorites and i get in moods for different
things,but if ya asked me the song i enjoy the most i have so many so i usually
will tell ya something like "RUNAWAY"by DELL SHANNON because i still think the
song is one of the greatest ever !!

The answer to the Neil Diamond question is `Sunday and Me' by Jay & the Americans
(or as Johnny El would say `Mercans') it made to #15. I'm not too crazy about
a lot of later Neil Diamond but he had a lot of hits and deserves more credit
than Solomon Burke or the Mamas & Papas. But what the hell it's just a tourist
attraction. So how's your CD collection? You must download everything in sight.
I've run out of things to buy, I must have `Tear on My Pillow'on 12 CDS. Well
got to get back to the Mets, They're losing in Fla. tonight! Back tomorrow,
since my daughter will be controlling the PC for the rest of the night!

Mont - I'm not sure from your last
if you got my Joey Dee answer, did u. As far as you second question, i'm gonna
give another educated guess. When I was n the svc., in 67 I had the first album
from The Union Gap, and there was a cover of Kentucky Woman in that album. I
have no idea if that charted here, but if it did, that would be the answer.
Ken Sez
USA - Friday, September 07, 2001 at 16:12:54 (PDT)
Mont - I agree with you partially
about Neil Diamond - He was great for about 8 or 10 yrs. He has since lost me,
starting with that vomit inducing duet with Streisand, You Don't Send Me Flowers.
Subsequent efforts such as Love on the Rocks has sent him spiraling down into
the netherlands of the Lounge Lizard!!!!!!! So I give him 'bout 8 good yrs and
'bout 25 bad yrs. Actually that's 'bout the same I could say for Chicago. RAMBLINGS
- Beach Boys will never get credit they deserve. Their music was as good as
anyone, and FUN FUN FUN. Billy Idol's "White Wedding" cranked up full volume
is 'bout as good as R and R gets. U2 knows what R and R is all about! Current
crop that gets it - Creed, Chile Peppers, Pearl Jam. More later!!!

NEW ORLEANS. (AP) - Justin Wilson,
the Cajun chef whose down-home humor, gumbo-thick accent and "ga-ron-tee" of
authentic bayou cuisine delighted television audiences, died Wednesday. He was
87. Wilson was the host of several cooking shows on public television, including
"Cookin' Cajun," "Louisiana Cookin'" and "Easy Cooking." He pronounced his name
JOOS-tain and had white hair, a floppy bow tie and bright red suspenders. He
wore a belt, too, saying it was because he was a safety engineer. His trademark
expression was "I ga-ron-tee!" (guarantee), from the Cajun "J'vous garantis."
He released five cookbooks, 27 albums of short stories and an album of Christmas
songs.

against pop stars of the 60S ans 70S. People like Sedaka, Connie Francis, Brenda
Lee and even the great Neil Diamond can forget about admission to the Rock Hall

Sports as any other facet of life develops it's own words, and RBI is a word,
I don't care that the "s" is on the end of the word "run". Why is Neil Sedaka

Nobody could say "The Seagull" doesn't
have legs (to use a producers' expression for a show that can run for a long
time). Even so, the Public Theater's recent production of Anton Chekhov's classic
play will not move to a Broadway house for a limited engagement, thereby dashing
the hopes of thousands of theatregoers. Rumors of a Broadway transfer began
even before the first public performance in the park, but that turned out to
be based more on wishful thinking than reality. This week the Public Theater
announced the hoped-for transfer would not take place after all. However, although
the Delacorte production ended Sun., Aug. 26, the show is not entirely lost.
The Lincoln Center Library's Theatre on Film and Tape Collection videotaped
the Friday performance with three cameras, after an aborted attempt to tape
Thursday's waterlogged performance. The tape will be made available for viewing
to members of the professional theatre community, students, and historians.
Restrictions established by Actors' Equity and other unions forbid the tape's
showing to members of the general public.

his Grunge records.Led Zeppelin could do nearly no wrong as far as their recordings.their
first album in '69 reached billboards top ten in two months and the second album
reached number one also within two months and every album after that has gone
platinum.Page and J.P.Jones got the idea to join forces and form a band with
the drummer and singer from Procul Harem both who were not available at the
time.They recomended Plantand he recomended bonzo and the rest is history.nowafterThe
Yardbirds Page did lots of session work and J.P.Jones was a famed session musician
and arrnger,they worked together on a 60's song that was a reasonably sized
hit for an artist when they got the idea to join forces.Anyone have the name

Hank the Angry, Drunken Dwarf is
dead. The 4-foot-1 Howard Stern sidekick, known for being, well, drunk and angry,
died Tuesday at the age of 39. The cause of death was not immediately disclosed.
Born Henry Nasiff, the diminutive performer got his break in 1996, when he and
a friend from Boston dinner theater (yes, Hank was in dinner theater) drove
to New York City and decided to try to get on the Stern show. Hank's vigil at
New York's K-Rock studios began at about 5:30 a.m., and the Stern crew quickly
took notice. As Doug Z. Goodstein, Hank's manager and the producer of Stern's
E! TV show, once recounted to E! Online, "There was just a compelling feature
of a drunk, belligerent midget." (As Hank was fond of yelling, "I'm not a midget,
I'm a dwarf, you a--hole.)"

Just to fill you old timers in on
the great weekend I had at the wedding of Evelyn 'Cookie' Kearns son in Connecticut.
Cookie and Cathy Pittman, both of STA '61 (you do the math)look absolutely great.When
a guy graduates from grade school the last thing he thinks of is that his girl
classmates will still look good in 40 years,but it happens. Both of these ladies
lived on 88 Ave. on opposite sides of 80 St.. Cookies' Mom had the tiny candy
store on 80 St. near 88 Ave and still looks great at 85 +. The two brothers
Jim and John STA '58 & 57 were also there from their New Hampshire homes.All
of us were smart enough to bring old photos which during free time this weekend
brought tons of laughs. REENIE- They did remember you and send their best.

BUSTER- In your early Woodhaven information
search,there is a site www.richmondhillhistory.org which looks like it has overlapping
Woodhaven notes as well as quite a few old local map links to click on. My family
also worked for the local rich folk back in the 1930's-40's as my Mom's uncle
Harry Kirk was the chauffer for the Bohack (supermarket) family who lived about
4 blocks from Regent's Row Restaurant. My Dad's parents bought their house on
75 St. and 88 Rd. around 1912,when my Gradfather worked in the Lance and Grosjeans
(sp?) factory on Atlantic Ave.

Here's a story out of Yankee camp:
Bronx, NY (AP) - George Steinbrenner and the New York Yankees announced that
pitcher Danny Almonte of the Rolando Paulino Baby Bombers was activated for
action with the Staten Island Yankees of the New York - Penn League. Staten
Island will begin it's title defense of the NYP Minor League championship against
the Brooklyn Cyclones Thursday night at RCB Ballpark in Staten Island. "This
organization has a long tradition of wingding baseball and we will do anything
to maintain that. Read my lips - ANYTHING. Let us win and no one gets hurt."
noted Steinbrenner when questioned about bringing the embattled pitcher to the
organization's Single A affiliate. "It was an easy one to pull off. We just
had him switch birth certificates with El Duque.", Steinbrenner added. In a
strange turn of events, Almonte was immediately placed on the DL after he became
so excited by the news, he cut himself shaving. Steinbrenner immediately ordered
the 1929 Yankees to be taken out of cryogenics to compensate for the loss.

Buster- Don't have a definative answer
to your history question but this may help. When my parents bought their house
on 88 Ave in 1918 it was not 88 Ave. The streets were named and numbered like
Brooklyn. Then trhey converted the named streets to numbered and then converted
the addresses to correspond with the streets. It sounds like the address you
have was in the middle of that process after the names were changed to numbers
but before the house addresses were converted. I don't know if this helps but
where 85 Street meets the park around the second house towards 86 Street there
was a historical marker that said something to the effect that is was erected
in front of the house that had the new address system and I think showed the
year. If someone in Woodhaven could help out and relate that info to you it
might help. Now my failing memory may be wrong and that sign could be on 86
Street at the park but it was there.

Buttsteroids-Be advised, the possibility
exists that with possible language /communication problems,the address might
not have been recorded properly...Also, the Postal Office might be a place to
search old address records...There are quite a number of Cliff Clavans there

be Jerome Avenue...

A new priest at his first mass was
so nervous he could hardly speak. After mass he asked the monsignor how he had
done. The monsignor replied, "When I am worried about getting nervous on the
pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous,
I take a sip." So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice. At the beginning
of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink. He proceeded to talk up a storm.
Upon his return to his office after mass, he found the following note on the
door: 1. Sip the Vodka, don't gulp. 2. There are 10 commandments, not 12. 3.
There are 12 disciples, not 10. 4. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated. 5.
Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass. 6. We do not refer to Jesus
Christ as the late J. C. 7. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred
to as Daddy, Junior and the Spook. 8. David slew Goliath, he did not kick the
shit out of him. 9. When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his Donkey,
don't say he was stoned off his ass. 10. We do not refer to the cross as the
"Big T." 11. When Jesus broke the bread at the Last Supper he said,"Take this
and eat it for it is my body." He did not say "Eat me" 12. The Virgin Mary is
not called "Mary with the Cherry," 13. The recommended grace before a meal is
not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, yeah God. 14. Next Sunday there will
be a taffy pulling contest at St. Peter's, not a Peter-pulling contest at St.Taffy's.

that 400 89th St is probably within 4 blocks north or south of Jamaica Ave.

R hall of fame also. But having said that, I don't want to make this a pissing
contest. Music is certainly subjective as it pertains to our tastes, and whatever
music you like, you like. There can be no arguing about that, and I would also
much prefer to argue music than politics' or religion, because I care more deeply
for it than any of the others. So bring it on, I can take it!
