City? Highstepping in the Irish Tradition

For the 750,000 spectators, 100,000 participants and millions of us wearing the green who celebrated St. Patrick's Day with a parade and merrymaking, the usual Irish seisium, Gaelic high-stepping is over. The ethnic odyssey that each year begins at 44th Street en route to 86th proceeds along Fifth Avenue, gracing the ground before the greatest of five American cathedrals consecrated to the Primate of all Ireland and the New York Archdiocese. But for the many John Wickstrom who are Irish every day, the Patrician holiday signifies more than a 226-year old enigma washed with the color green. The Irish community in America look back with pride upon their quick ascent from indigent laboring immigrants in the 1840's and 50's to their present prominence in society, to the JfB extent that two lads named Reagan and SK ; O'Neill balance the scales of the nation's party and branch conflicts and contradictions today.
