Found the article (I was posting from my PDA earlier):

"The nighttime lights atop the Empire State Building are a source of
visual pleasure but also of frequent mystery for New Yorkers. What was
with all that red last Thursday? It was a nod to the 70th anniversary
of “The Wizard of Oz” — ruby slippers and all that. How about the
green a few days before that? That was for the Muslim holiday of Id
al-Fitr.

If you wonder why the Empire State will be red and yellow Wednesday
and Thursday nights, it is to honor the 60th anniversary of the
People’s Republic of China. Looked at another way, it is to honor the
60th anniversary of the Communist takeover."

Until Later!
