Contributor's Note

One of my few redeeming qualities is that I never take a beautiful day for granted. Two noble and gratifying goals, signals of a life well-lived, are the discovery of beauty in the sciences, and creation of beauty in the arts. Beauty in nature occurs everywhere, urban and rural, because light and matter and their interaction, are inherently beautiful and awe-inspiring. Let there be light!

Room with a Sutton Place view

“Sutton Place” is the name of a short north-south thoroughfare, and surrounding neighborhood, on the East side of Manhattan with numerous real and fictional associations of note, reflecting contrasting fortunes, in time and place, including UN Secretary Generals, famed actors, rock stars, songs, novels, plays and movies. The grand Ed Koch Queensboro bridge (renamed in honor of the former Mayor) is in the foreground with Long Island City, Queens, immediately across the bridge, and Brooklyn following and to the right, each with their own fascinating stories.
