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.
