There were many police officers and barricades along 8th Avenue last night. The President is in town, and the city was preparing for his arrival at the New Yorker Hotel.
I waited on 36th Street as a police officer directed traffic. His instructions opposed the commands of the traffic lights. There was a large mass of about 30 pedestrians on each corner waiting to cross the street.
As he halted the motor traffic, he paused and faced the throngs.
"Thank you for your New York-style patience!"
I appreciate an understanding cop.
