<br>
<br>I LOVE NY
<br>
<br>     I Love NY is the tourist slogan of the New York State Department of
<br>Economic Development.  The 20th anniversary of the slogan is on their web
<br>page:
<br>http://205.232.252.23/ny20th/intro.html
<br>     You can get an "I Love NY" Mastercard at:

<br>     The song is also at:
<br>http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/PubLib/archive/9704/0469.htm/
<br>      "I Love NY" was inspired by Virginia's tourist slogan, "Virginia is for
<br>lovers."
<br>     Most interesting to me is "heart" = "love."  There was a note about this
<br>in American Speech, but I couldn't find it in the quick check I made of the
<br>ADS web site index.  How do I look up a heart symbol?  Cecil Adams's The
<br>Straight Dope had a 2-16-96 column called "Why heart = love."
<br>     That goes way back to ancient times, as does the heart shape--although
<br>the heart is NOT heart-shaped!  I have some newspaper advertisements going
<br>back 100 years that use the heart symbol, but I can't find them now.
<br>     About the "zen" query, see the Wall Street Journal, "PEPPER...and Salt,"
<br>30 June 1959, pg. 16, col. 5, caption:  "Calm!  How can I be calm?  I send him
<br>off to college so he can be useful in business, and he comes back a Zen
<br>Buddhist!"

<br>THINK (IBM)
<br>THINK DIFFERENT (APPLE)
<br>
<br>    There's a very large Apple "Think Different" billboard near my home at the
<br>corner of Third Avenue and 59th Street.
<br>    Actually, shouldn't that be "Think Differently"?
<br>    And does Apple really want people who "Think Different"?  If I send out a
<br>resume written with crayons, do I have the job??
<br>    The Wall Street Journal's "PEPPER...and Salt" loved to make fun of IBM's
<br>"Think."
<br>
<br>17 November 1958, pg. 16, col. 5.
<br>CAPTION:  "The boss believes in moderation in everything!"
<br>     A sign on the wall states "THINK /A LITTLE."
<br>
<br>4 February 1959, pg. 10, col. 5.
<br>     A skier is about to make a jump run.  Just before he potentially meets
<br>his agony of defeat, he reads a sign that states "THINK."
<br>
<br>21 April 1959, pg. 18, col. 2.
<br>     One sign states "DEPARTMENT OF ANTIQUITIES."  Another sign states "THINK
<br>BACK."
