ESSAY
"It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood"
Categories
Excerpt (first and last two sentences)
"During a
period of time in which the nation is caught up in the complications of an
upcoming war, nightclub safety and fires, terrorism inspections, and a
continuing investigation of a space accident, news of death brings no real shock
anymore. To many, the obituary of Fred Rogers, host of “Mister Rogers’
Neighborhood,” was of little importance and was quickly passed over....
...Apparently, there’s a lot more wisdom to “it’s a beautiful day in the
neighborhood” than most people see at first glance. Maybe George Bush, Tony
Blair, and Saddam Hussein should get together and listen to what Mr. Roger has
to say."
