...landlord, is just one of the 19 government bureaucracies with a say in rebuilding the World Trade Center. On Monday he gave New York governor David Paterson a progress report. The best thing to do, he said over 34 pages, is scrap the budget and timeline for the whole project...
Nobody is arguing that the rebuilding effort, which will add as much new office space as exists in all of downtown Atlanta, is simple.

John McCain and Barack Obama are feuding these days over what constitutes legitimate infrastructure spending and what is just pork-barrel spending. But it won't simply take money to fix Ground Zero.

They invite but don't allow the immersion that people experienced with Eliasson's own most famous work, The weather project, his hugely popular artificial sun installation five years ago at Tate Modern in London...

A related project is Lawrence Lessig's Change Congress, a new grassroots effort focused on gaining government transparency and challenging the role of money in politics...
