Don't worry.  The mass demonstrations were perfectly coordinated
with the IOC visitors so that their travel route was not only
completely unimpeded by the demo but (according to yesterday's
Le Journal evening news on Channel 25 in NY)  even went more
smoothly than it would have in ordinary Paris traffic.  Only an
arrogant billionaire prick like Bloomberg could imagine NYC as
a plausible site compared to Paris.
