My experience at the Olympics indicated to me that the press was not doing any real reporting, but was just passing on a fax or a press report. One of the knocks out of Atlanta was low security. As Ted has said, security was tough. If you did not have the correct credentials and were not willing to strip for the metal detectors you did not get behind the scenes. I know one IOC cat who was some furious when he was kept out of a hotel with the free WWS because he left his infinity badge somewhere else. Even if the security guys knew you, had seen you every day for twenty one days, if you didn't have the correct badge for the place you wanted to go, you didn't go there. Unless the President was in the area and then you just didn't get to go any where nearby. I am glad that Boston can handle a middling size convention. I suspect that NY will get along just fine with the crowds. New Yorkers seem to cope with almost anything. You will see a lot of whining about protesting and why they can't protest outside Madison Square but for the most part, NYC will just get along. After all, it took just a few months to pick itself back up after 3000 people were murdered in Lower Manhattan. 0.02 Don dorysrus@mindspring.com -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+dorysrus=mindspring.com@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+dorysrus=mindspring.com@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of buzz.hausner@verizon.net Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2004 9:19 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] How is life in Boston this week? What makes you ask? In fact, since I only need to travel in Cambridge and one or two adjacent towns and only into the very fringes of Boston, traffic control and security have not affected me at all. In fact, traffic in Cambridge and environs has been lighterthan usual.
