Thanks, John, for the subway and theater info in New York. I have availd 
mys3lf of the "chair and another person" idea at Kennedy Center, where 
the tickets are half price, and they have set aside a very limited number 
of wheelchair space in certain boxes. The porgram is run by Frieds of 
Kennedy Center, and they assign you a nujmber that lets you charge 
tickets by phone. The main requirement is that you must order half price 
tickets before the run of the show begins. Once the show starts, kyou can 
only get half price tickets the day of the performance, which for a 
wheelchair person would not be a vlery good gamble. Have you  tried this? 
Regards, Harry.
