	I tried to get a position at the old Stuyvesant - no way - the line was 
LONG.  You should see the new one - fabulous building right on the 
Hudson, some 7 stories high. I was astounded that they included shops, 
giving the practical arts "futuring" that was conducted '81-'83.  It was 
built in the late 80s to the tune of some $150 million.  More Nobel 
laureates came out of Stuy than any other school in the US.
