NYC: Woody Allen, Martin Scorcese, Paul Mazursky

[August1991]

Why are urban people so leftist?

====

I know the city of New York as a tourist. (I had an aunt who married a New Yorker from Brooklyn, but they moved to Long Island.)

Years ago, I recall flying into JFK from Frankfurt (AMS?) and the two young women beside me. First time to America. I explained that foreigners only care about Manhatten, below Central Park. I showed them the map, suggested that they walk.

And I gave these kids Gershwin in their Walkman.

Higher education? The top 8 states with people holding graduate degrees are all north eastern states.

Had a short visit to NYC many years ago. Very friendly people.
