New York Daily News - Ideas & Opinions - Editorials: Judge Sweet, how crazy are you? The ruling was received gleefully by the New York Civil Liberties Union, which insisted on perilously handcuffing the cops before the convention. New York City and Boston, where the Democrats will gather next week, are on high alert. The federal judge who barred the New York Police Department from peeking into the bags of demonstrators outside and around the Republican convention next month deserves one response - and it's the only sane response in this era of suicide bombings and worse: defiance. www.nydailynews.com /news/ideas_opinions/story/213744p-184038c.html

Wired New York Forum - Dia:Beacon - New Museum The Dia:Beacon is on 31 acres along the Hudson and is a five-minute walk from a Metro North train station. Beacon is an economically depressed town about an hour north of Manhattan, and its location offered the opportunity to combine culture and urban renewal. The Beacon museum’s expansive galleries have been specifically designed for the display of the artworks to which Dia is committed, many of which, because of their character or scale, could not be easily accommodated by more conventional museums. www.wirednewyork.com /forum/printthread.php?t=3763

UTU: News The station, nicknamed the ``Amshack'' by its workers, was a stark white building with a row of chairs along the wall, a desk and a bulletin board. Trains remained an interest, but, as with so many of us, his youthful fascination was replaced by adult responsibilities. They shared train stories and, by instinct, all turned to the window whenever they heard the heavy clacking approach from the distance. www.utu.org /worksite/detail_news.cfm?ArticleID=14553

news Today, the few passenger trains that run between New York City and Chicago pass the old terminal slowly, stopping at a squat suburban station where the seats are plastic and the food comes from vending machines. In 1929 the station handled 200 trains a day. Completed in 1929, the station mirrored the city's mood, said Susan A. McCartney, president of the Preservation Coalition of Erie County. www.buffalocentralterminal.org /news/nyt101492.html

Reclaiming the River Metropolis Magazine Getting to the Beacon waterfront ordinarily requires crossing a bridge over the rail tracks into an expansive commuter parking lot at the train station. Longtime environmental activist and folksinger Pete Seeger and New York architect Meta Brunzema have formed a unique alliance to construct a “river pool,” whose intent is not simply to bring swimmers back to the river but to promote a broader sense of river stewardship. The Beacon Sloop Club—an organizing entity for the river pool, which counts Seeger among its founding members—had organized a one-mile swim from the city of Newburgh, across the river, to Beacon to raise money for the pool’s construction, now planned for summer 2005. www.metropolismag.com /cda/story.php?artid=1054?

New York's Premier Alternative Newspaper. Arts, Music, Food, Movies and Opinion The drunken slob collapsed in a Siberian train station was the same person as the ruler of the country. Jennifer Lopez and Tom Clancy would have been perfect fits in the Soviet Union; they would have worn medals in public and ridden the trains for free.

All about Carl Panzram by Mark Gado While he was held in the Larchmont jail, Panzram wrote a letter to a mysterious “John Romero” in Beacon, New York, which was directly across the river from Newburgh where George Walosin jumped ship. During the 1920s it was famous for its beautiful shoreline and exclusive country clubs where the upper echelon of New York City society would gather on weekends. New DNA evidence matches one of the former suspects -- and his identical twin. www.crimelibrary.com /serial_killers/history/panzram2/2.html?sect=3
