The N.Y. Times reminded us that this week marked the 36th anniversary of the Los Angeles to New York journey on roller skates of a well meaning fellow who wished to call attention to the then energy crisis. Unfortunately, his pet monkey died from the heat in Arizona and he was robbed in New Jersey. As a former resident of the Garden State I was appalled of such treatment which deprived him of the opportunity to skate between all those orange cones on the George Washington Bridge. The folks in Manhattan came to his rescue and he entered Gotham via the Lincoln Tunnel while holding his breath.
