Dear colleagues,
Many of you have sent messages of support and condolence to the lists
or to individuals in NYC or DC. We are all most grateful for your
friendship and concern.
What is probably difficult to imagine from watching TV or listening to
the radio or reading the newspaper is how localized to the Financial
District the situation in New York City is (except for commuting). In
Greenwich Village, probably less than two miles North, it is eerily
calm. There were no cars, cabs, or trucks except emergency vehicles
until this morning. They are now allowing trucks in to deliver goods
like groceries and newspapers. You have to show ID to get South of 14th
Street, a few blocks North of the main NYU library and Washington
Square. Last night, there was an incredible snarl of cabs, busses, etc.
at the 14th Street barrier, but not a carhorn to be heard. The odd
juxtaposition of horror and calm is just about overwhelming.
Thanks for your continued thoughts and actions. In NYC, they are saying
that blood donors are plentiful now but that they are worried about the
situation in a week or two. If you are considering donating, please
keep this in mind.
