...Liberty Island. The pitch seemed both unusually feverish and collaborative one bright, windy afternoon last week. There is no pushing back this Friday's deadline. Up in the statue's crown, a Mexican worker--an immigrant!--put finishing touches on new interior copper sheathing, while Project Architect John Robbins of the Park Service complimented the man on his finesse at riveting an eccentric, angular piece of metal...

She was not, in short, a do-gooder, a foreign-service careerist or a spiritual pilgrim. But her European...
