Article: New Jersey, Where the Accent Is On 'Real'

Headline on Reuters wire story:

"New Jersey Would 'Vanish' Under New Census Plan."

It seems the federal government wants to rip New Jersey in half, statistically, and feed one part to "Megapolitan New York" and the other to "Megapolitan Philadelphia."

Vanish.

With the memory of Jackie Kennedy fox-hunting in Far Hills. With silver diners like the Tick Tock shivering in the Sunday morning sunlight on Route 3. With the Watchung mountains where you can see all the way to Scotch Plains, once said to have more angora sweaters per capita than anyplace on Earth.
