"If you've already lived through any of the automotive crises described below, congratulations. You've proved your cool. If you haven't, count your blessings.."

Or, in the local vernacular, "Count your blessings if you work in Mid-town Manhattan."

From the front page of today's New York Times (italicized portions are direct quotes)
According to Secretary of State Colin Powell, "[t]he whole environment is at risk right now." The non-sequitor was issued in response to a question concerning the situtation in China.
In a related development, ~President bush added muscle to the US diplomatic effort, saying each day the crew is held would "increase the potential that our relations with China could be damaged." -- Brick production is believed to have reached record levels in the karsis of The Forbidden City.
