...does now. Perhaps Adrian Gambet and Gordon Cairnie, who founded the Grolier in 1927, would scarcely recognize it today. The original shop was not a poetry shop, but rather a place for overseas books, fine printing and contemporary limited editions. By the 1950s, it had become an established gathering place for writers, poets and students. Members of the Harvard Advocate were especially frequent visitors. The Grolier wasn’t really a place to purchase books, for sales were almost nonexistent and Cairnie often failed to collect payments on the sales he made. Instead, it was a place...
...wistfully; we know that the day is life-changing because of all the established magical moments of which it is comprised. The two share a festive chocolatey drink at a trendy café, Serendipity (which, incidentally, has already had its close-up in George Clooney’s One Fine Day); they stroll through Central Park, flocks of pigeons flapping out of their path; they ice-skate at night, snowflakes from a fake-snow-making-machine gently alighting upon their shoulders...

...What the markets would so desperately like to know is whether Sept. 11 was an "isolated incident" or something they're a little more comfortable working with - part of a trend. If it means defense spending, more spy satellites, less spy satellites, fine. If it means the "CNN effect," or decreased consumer confidence, fine - they can always sell. If it means America's going to kick butt and we can all proudly go back to our consumerist lives and our primed-for-a-V-shape business cycle by summer, even better. They'll rally till all the terrorists are scattered...
