PERHAPS NO other state in the nation is as heralded and hated, lauded and lampooned, and adored and abhorred, as much as New York. But let’s be frank...99 percent of the ill will is directed at New York City. You don’t hear anyone seething, “I swear, those snobby Uticans really tick me off.” Likewise, no one has complained about the arrogance of those lousy Oneonta Tigers fans. The Big Apple! Musicians coined the phrase “Big Apple,” because when you played the Big Apple, it meant you played the big time. And we believe the hype. Frankie said it—make it there, make it anywhere. It’s

NEW YORK—A generation of Americans will remember where they were on the fateful morning of September 11, 2001, a day in which hatred lay two glorious New York buildings in ruins and burned a swath into a Washington landmark, costing thousands of people their lives. For Tim Plumer Jr., business development manager for ePaper solutions at Adobe Systems, the day began uneventfully.
