Yes, New Yorkers have definately pulled themselves together on this one. However, I find your attorney's statements to be highly suspicious for the first 5 days the nearest you cold get to ground zero, barring the emergency workers, was a good solid 20 blocks. I live only 5 miles from Manhattan, the only way someone could have ever smelled any stinch was if they were an emrergency worker. Was he an emergency worker?
