My way out was finally to fire my boss. The client may be nutty too but there is usually an underlying rationality, or at least rationale, that you can work with.

And if my memory is getting to where I can't remember last week ... Everything old is new again...

Now I think Port Authority is worlds improved from what it once was. Many bright shops, few street people except in the less visible upper nooks & crannies where travelers seldom need to go... (All this based on 2010-2011 when I lived nearby and walked through often.)

Thank you! I did read the introduction to that volume, which if memory serves is ~150 pages long just in itself.

Yes, exactly. The exit promenade by the escalators is about the only area where I don't feel entirely like I'm in the Führerbunker.

Thank you! Reminded me I've meant to read that. (The Power Broker. I read his first two LBJ volumes; riveted, but still seeking the stamina to start the third one.)

And at that, these make it look better than it is.

...on an interminable conference call right now that is very much like this...

I still blame him for everything.

Old Penn Sta interior... http://www.photosofoldamerica.com/webart/large/198.jpg http://www.poorwilliam.net/pix/penn-station-interior.jpg http://stuffnobodycaresabout.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Penn-Station-Concourse-Detroit-publishing.jpg

The culprit responsible for destroying the original Penn Station (and much else, along with what good he did) was one Robert Moses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Moses I like to imagine him condemned to a Hell modeled on the current Penn Station.

Maybe not much... http://static4.fjcdn.com/comments/Only+thing+i+have+related+to+barbies+why+the+hell+_c04738dc70ed7ae09f0eaf23c869af03.png http://www.mrdiggles.com/img/barbie-key.jpg
