Went to McGraw Hill shareholders meeting today.

Went to McGraw Hill shareholders meeting today.Took the bus over G.W Bridge got off at 175 st Subway station,gone was newsstand for many years,nothing there.Took the A train down 59 st. switch to D got off at Rockefeller Center station.Walk around it's such beautiful area,so vibrant,it is in a way,the heart beat of city,the tall building,the people busting around, it's zest of urban living.
The meeting didn't start until 11 A.m,but the place open at 10 A.M and they had so spread,fruit,cake,coffee,O.J it very nice.
Then the auditorium open up,maybe because wood but had feeling of tabernacle.Now the leader Harold McGraw was o preacher,he was cool customer,very much the WASP,indeed,he had quite enthusiastic about task often praising his staff and himself,often in mocking or humor way.Although he later come across as elitist he was likable.
Said some interest things:like developed world(the U.S and Europe and Japan) account for 50 percent of world G.D.P today in 2030 it would down to 30 percent.Said he hope the U.S G.D.P would grew this year 2.5,China at 8 and India at 6.He was upbeat about his company but the aren't they all?
