While I could agree that Mount Washington might qualify as the most
God-forsaken place in the eastern US (Cold! Windy! Yeeaachhh!), the highest
is Mount Mitchell -- down in NC -- which is 6684 feet AMSL.

Also, "...The first radio station and broadcast was in Paterson...." could
lead to a lot of arguments.  And when it comes to "New Jersey produces the
most beautiful women in the world!" well, anybody who would argue about
religion, politics, or women is just plain nuts.  By the way, John, I used
to live in Asbury Park, so I definitely agree that there are plenty of 'em
there.  :)
