WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GROUND ZERO?
Ask Frank Rich

Frank Rich answers the question -- “Whatever happened to Ground Zero?” -- and I’m paraphrasing: not enough and all too much.

A pull quote from today’s New York Times essay (“Ground Zero Is So Over”) [Ed.: Hyperlinks added.]:

For New Yorkers this saga is a raucous political narrative whose cast of characters includes a rapacious real-estate developer, a seriously irritating architect with even more irritating designer eyeglasses, a governor with self-delusional presidential ambitions[,] and a mayor obsessed with bringing New York the only target that may rival the Freedom Tower as terrorist bait, the Olympics.

Almost worth the newsstand price in itself.
