As for Mr. Swain, I don't think his swimming the canal sends any positive message.

I will swim the Newtown Creek in the summer. I'm going to put my health at risk for attention. There will be a lot of cameras at this event. Bring your cell phone. I will put myself on the line for publicity.Nancynoreply@blogger.com
