On Saturday, May Day, my wife and I went to Broadway to see the King Tut exhibit and also a new musical on the early years of Sun Records and its first stars. It was almost a pleasant afternoon, and we had dinner and then easily caught a cab back to Penn Station. Sometime later, a loon drove a SUV up to the very corner we stood at and set it up to explode and kill innocent people. Luckily, an alert vendor and then an NYPD officer cleared the Times Square area, and had the police disarm the bomb. This is the eleventh time since 9-11 that New York City has experienced a real terrorist threat. At least this guy did not have the courage of his convictions -- he decided he did not wish to be a suicide bomber, but vanished down Shubert Alley and then out to JFK airport where he was picked up by the authorities.
