Q-Bick (ihnp4!qubix!lab) correctly named Kentucky as one of the disconnected states. The far western end of Kentucky is a tiny peninsula formed by a meander of the Mississippi River which is bounded on the south by Tennessee and on the remaining three sides by Missouri. The other disconnected state is New York. Ellis Island and Liberty Island (home of the Statue of Liberty) are considered part of New York, but they both lie entirely within New Jersey waters. -- Dave Seaman ..!pur-ee!pucc-h:ags
