Manhattan Short
Film Festival
LPR got this photo of Nick Mason at the Manhattan Short Film Festival, held September
19, at a former synagogue on Manhattan's lower east side. Mr. Mason is director
of the festival which included
films from the United States, Great Britain, and Spain. Three years ago, this
writer discovered the film festival in Union Square Park, days after 9/11.
Apparently, New York City denied permission for the festival to be held this
year at the park.
A City Hall committed to cultural events might be more cooperative with the Manhattan
Short Film Festival.
For more on this worthwhile NYC event, please go to the festival website: www.msfilmfestcom.

Is Shana
on the right path?
Shana
is here pictured observing some trash
that had been gathered (and disposed
of after this picture) on a path at a
wooded area between a Torrington shopping
center and residential complex. It is
possible that the litterers at this place
generally support moves to clean the
environment? Such cleaning, however,
begins at home, and not in the legislative
chambers in Washington, DC, or Hartford.
Must pride in community require
statutes and ordinances?

First
2004, then 2008 …
Senator Kerry can yet unbounded support muster
From
Hillary - preferring Democrats he kinda makes squirm
To remove the lack and leave only only luster
He should promise to serve only one term

LPR noted that
Mayor Bloomberg termed some of the anti-Bush demonstrators "anarchists." This
accusation is probably a stretch.
Now, Noah of old -- he, of course, was an arkist.

Predicts …
The post election buzz will be about the low turnout, with the media remarking
that a re-elected President Bush must take into account the huge number of
non-voters who, by their silence, indicated coolness towards the Bush agenda.
Media and Democrats (but, to borrow from Mark Twain, LPR repeats itself) will
seem bitter about four more years of Bush and another GOP Congress, but will
be gleeful the Bush-bashing opportunities continune.
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton becomes the instant front-runner for the 2008
Democratic presidential nomination and soon will be acknowledged the titular
leader of the Democratic party.
On the Republican side, the media -- not the party -- will put Rudy Giuliani
at the top of the GOP 2008 presidential sweepstakes. Will the party turn to
Brother Jeb for 2008?
Last minute advisory to the GOP …
Ya better hold onto Congress or an impeachment bill against President Bush
will be thrown in the House hopper real soon.

southeast corner of 7th Avenue and 34th--one block up from
Madison Square Garden and across the street from Macy's.
Here police are using the netting to control pedestrians
crossing 34th Street, after the convention session September

A vast waiting
throng in an urban setting
Wrapped at a street corner in orange netting
Police using tactics activists have long been dreading
Singles brought together--will some have a wedding?
The love of some couples will of course be tested
By arbitrary processes after they're arrested
Will they forever be parted when one is arraigned
Or will he wait for his girl, still in the pens detained
Think
of them not as merchandise, but as mementos.

The
Producers won the show division championship of the Broadway Show League,
September 2, beating Beauty and the Beast.
This marks the third championnship for The Producers in four years and LPR
expects that the sign outside the St. James Theater, on West 44th Street, where
the musical is playing, will soon reflect this win.
