  • Slurry Boundaries

    Architect Daniel Libeskind proposes keeping the original "bathtub" of the World Trade Center, but his plan is no bubble bath. The plan calls for a number of jagged, angular buildings arrayed around the WTC footprints, which would be left bare. Later, although New York is counted as one of the more liberal states in the country, the Empire State --along with Texas and Mississippi --forbids felons from voting. And: the ethics of cvilian deaths, part two, and an alternative measure of patriotism.
