...Strong stuff, at Easter or any other time. And, perhaps, laced with a bit of the bishop's own mythology. To be sure, leaving New York may cost jobs and reduce tax levies, but would it be particularly "moral" for a company to ignore economics and its responsibilities to employees and stockholders? In managing to be sanctimonious and demagogic at the same time, the bishop displayed little real understanding of the reasons for New York's plight; his premise has very little to do with the city's overarching problems. Second thoughts and perhaps a second sermon...
...difficulty in making ties at Carpenter Center. After a while it can get to a photographer's ego, making him feel second rate. Rick says other photographers experience this fear of the artists. "A lot of press and working photographers share this. We tend to think of our stuff as too mundane, or not art--whatever that...

Reggae, which is the stuff BobMarley and his Wailers play, is the same as what the Beatles played, only a lot better, and the words, whatever words you can hear, actually mean something, something more than I wantoholdyourhand. Oh, and by the way, the stress is on the first, and not some other beat...
