This conversation could hit a 3rd rail very easily, even during this season of peace and harmony. (Does everyone know what a 3rd rail is?) I don't choose to go there right now. Was curious about friend Zeno's assertion about Broadway shows being open during Monday's blizzard. Things are always a bit more nuanced than they might seem. http://www.wnyc.org/articles/wnyc-news/2010/dec/27/broadway-stays-open-despite-blizzard-conditions/ I'm not sure what the connection was between the blizzard and the topic, but, in any case, there was no show at Carnegie Hall on Monday night.
