>>In the Tribeca neighborhood of New York City, Jose Torres put up a poster Sunday on the building where Kennedy lives with his wife. The poster read: ''Has anyone seen my old friend John-John?'' ''To me, he was Mr. New York,'' said Torres, 42. ''Everybody loved him, and he was a really nice guy. He said hello to me once when I met him riding my bike.''<< A sad day.

Wild man Cramer backs AOL again on TV show The premiere of theStreet.com TV show was delayed but here's some comments on it from his column "The Show Goes On". __________ Then we went on to AT&T. I am long the darn thing and think it trades like a dog, as one municipality after another seems to adopt AOL's (AOL:NYSE) open-access rap, something that would make buying cable a pretty stupid investment if it keeps winning. And AT&T has bought a lot of cable. His defense, thinking longer-term, didn't wash with me, and, if Berko weren't thinking this could be a big stock down the road, I would dump it. We didn't give Ken enough time to defend Xerox, other than to say that international sales pessimism has created an opportunity here as the stock's not cheap. I think at $55, I would be a buyer. Then Herb and I were broomed for a few minutes, and Lashinsky faced off against Gary B. for some knock-out TV. This is by far the best segment in my judgment, as these two guys showed clear conviction and articulated the pros and cons fantastically. First Chartman Gary B. tried to make a case that AOL's chart says buy. All I can say is the last two times I heard Gary B. talk about this one, he nailed it and I was glad I was long. Adam blasted AOL with the expensive per-subscriber rap and the open-access boogie man. Didn't shake me out of it. (edit here) Finally, Dave talked about how senseless and stupid it is to try to follow what Fidelity is up to, in this case with its AOL position, because you really have no way of knowing that the firm is really doing. We all agreed
