	Ken  --  seems to me that you are deluding yourself!   
({[pat]})  fought the current lrv tooth and nail and balked
strongly against rebuilding Overbrook.    There was nothing but
disagreement on the rail system.

	And I believe it may be  *purposely*  reflected in the
construction of the rail line  --  the hideous overhead purposely
built that way to turn off proponents of rail.

	Politics can be nasty anywhere but in Pgh. it seems 3rd-world-
// undeveloped country-like more than a civilized democracy.   
I've had others far more astute than myself point this out as
well.    Something to consider.    I fail to see the harmony.
