Let's try it one more time, and PLEASE READ THIS.

IT WAS A RECOLLECTION OF WHAT I HEARD AS A 12-YEAR-OLD.  It was talk.
Period.  Adults yammmering while kids are at talbe.  With cousins.  Turkey
dinner.  PICNICS IN WET TENTS.\

OK?

I also doubt the figure.

Outside of education, much of the tax money that went to NYC at that
time came in the form of federal funding for housing, infrastructure and
other matters that was administered by state agencies and state
programs.  Administration of programs probably came out of the state
pocket, but the money within the programs did not, overall.
