Giuliani's trip to Washington yesterday to brief President Bush,
and Bush's address to the nation together closed the first phase
of the Terror War. The situation in the city is sufficiently in
hand that the mayor could leave his post, and Bush laid out a preliminary
outline of America's response.
The need for
a daily diary ceases. City workers collected the mementos in Union
Square Park, and removed the other items. Rain would have doused
the candles in any case.
Kurt Masur
conducted the German Requiem at Lincoln Center. A friend of mine
who went said it was a stirring evening; there was no clapping when
the piece finished. "I don't even like the German Requiem,"
he added, "but it was the occasion, wasn't it?"
As the potheads
in my college singing group used to say, "It's been real."
Get ready for all the reality to come.
