	Ruth Warick who plays Phoebe Tyler-Wallingford on AMC wrote
a book a few years back entitled "The Confessions of Phoebe Tyler".
Here is what she had to say on the topic:

	"It is the suburb of Center City which somewhat
	resembles Philadelphia and it is about 90 miles
	from New York City...  In fact, Pine Valley
	occupies roughly the same map position as Bryn
	Mawr, the affluent Philadelphia mainline community
	which is the home of a famous instition of learning.  
	Which is not suprising, since Bryn Mawr is also the
	home of...Agnes Nixon."*

Agnes Nixon is the creator of AMC.
