TOURISM
Who You Callin' Rude, Bud?

<p> New Yorkers take a perverse pride in their legendary
brusqueness. But local leaders are beginning to be worried that
the city's surly citizens are hurting tourism, a major industry.
Herb Rickman, president of New York Pride, a nonprofit promoter
of civic activism, says surveys show that visitors increasingly
cite such enduring city icons as crabby cabbies and snarling
salesclerks as serious arguments against a return visit.
Rickman's response: the Civility Campaign, an effort to make New
Yorkers a little more pleasant.
</p>
<p> The campaign will begin with a series of ads featuring such
slogans as "C'mon New York, Ease Up" and "We're All in It
Together." While Manhattan is the capital of curtness, Rickman
has received inquiries from around the world asking how to start
similar undertakings in urban etiquette.
