Small Models For a Towering Builder

Submitted by Steve Anderson, Jan 15, 2007 20:40

After decades of bombardment by his detractors, it is nice to see Moses' legacy -- built and unbuilt -- being preserved. Some of the projects may have been questionable, but others such as the Long Island Sound Bridge between Nassau and Westchester are needed now more than ever to bypass New York City. Although it can be argued that Moses' projects were rubber-stamped back in the day, today we can't even erect a few buildings on the World Trade Center site without many years of delay. I think Moses would be ashamed at this.
