Inside the plane, things must have been comfortable, even cozy. Heading east, across the Hudson and in the direction of Long Island Sound, Kennedy climbed to 5,600 ft., the typical altitude for small planes traveling by visual flight rules. To the left, the light-flecked coast of southern Connecticut was probably visible through the haze, as first Bridgeport, then New Haven, then New London provided a sort of luminous archipelago pointing east. The noise of the engine and the wind would have made it difficult for the occupants to talk to one another, but the plane was equipped with...
...when he came out to fly, but never this late. "He usually showed up between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.," Tabibian says. If J.F.K. Jr. was concerned about the late hour and the fast-setting sun, he didn't show it. Walking unhurriedly into the store wearing a light gray T shirt, he made a bit of small talk with Mesfin Gebreegziabher, who was manning the cash register.

Sometimes it's alone, bathed in purple light; at other times it's part of an elaborate ensemble of virtual dancers. It may be 20 ft. tall and amber, or tiny, white and barely there. Its "body" morphs from a hand-drawn squiggle to an array of dots to a mesmerizing blur. When it's visible, you study its interplay with the live dancers. When it vanishes, you wonder when it will...
...known only for our medical-supply companies. No, New Jersey is a state that brought us the light bulb, Walt Whitman and the Shopasaurus T shirt. Jersey is the only state that so overpowers its namesake that you can drop the New when referring to it. Try that with Hampshire, York or Mexico. No one has heard of those places. Other than Texas, Jersey is the only state to have a cohesive, distinct personality. It is a state so full of attitude that its capital, Trenton, welcomes visitors with Hollywood-size letters declaring TRENTON MAKES. THE WORLD TAKES. Our mascot...
