In New York City

After a very long trek, I am today in the city that never sleeps but where the economy is a little under stress, not sleepy, it is true, but not so vibrant.

Many people on the streets, more than ever, one gets the impression, but that is certainly just a feeling, but less shoppers in the big stores. It is quieter there than in the streets. That's more than an impression, I am afraid...

Also, today is the second day after the demise of Lehman Brothers, and the status of the economy is present in many minds. So much so, that the President decided to cancel a statement on the crisis he was scheduled to make...It is worrisome...

But New York remains a city for the young.
