APRIL
17, 2005 --
LPR was again in Hudson, New York April 15. While in this charming city, two
hours north of The Bronx, last summer, LPR noticed that Hudson's parking meters
were a true expression of a common good/Federalist 57 approach -- five cents
for
an hour and a dime for two hours.

And, that is still
the way it is 100 miles north of PVBville. Once again, LPR says,
"Hooray for Hudson."

Next
stop was Millerton, New York, mentioned in LPR, last week, as Sandy
Berger's hometown. LPR stopped at the Oblong bookstore, on the
site of the clothing store owned by Mr. Berger's father -- purchasing "Courting
Justice," by
David Boies, who recently had an op-ed article in The Wall Street journal concerning
his client "Hank" Greenberg, of AIG.

Saperstein's

LPR
also stopped at Saperstein's, the large clothing store in Millerton,
before
continuing east on Route 44 to Winsted,
Connecticut. Route 44 is a two-lane country road along most of its path in
Connecticut.

In
Winsted, however, it becomes a four lane thoroughfare, the legacy
of the great flood of 1955, that destroyed Main Street (as Route
44 is known in Winsted) and took seven lives on August 19, nearly
50 years ago.

prices at a Winsted Gulf gas station

In
Winsted, LPR noticed a Gulf gas station whose prices stand in Federalist
57-style contrast to prices LPR spotted in Armonk, New York, a
few hours earlier.

How bright
indeed the economy if we simply followed the "common good" counsel
of the Founding Fathers.
