Zeckendorf has always depended for balance on his ability to shuffle his properties about like ballast, but the shuffling has suddenly gotten a lot harder. New York City's Freedomland, which Zeckendorf hoped would catch on as a kind of Disneyland East, has turned out to be a tunnel of horrors, lost several million dollars last year. His scheme for selling his hotels and leasing them back has backfired because of falling occupancy rates and higher costs. The softening real estate market has forced him to defer many of his plans to sell off Webb & Knapp buildings to raise...
...tunnel could be cut through from the surface to make the temple interior accessible from above. All that would be lost would be the original facade, which could be reconstructed 200 ft. higher, using the original statues and other movable exterior work. This plan would cost much less...

Inland's mines are dramatically different from the truck operations. Safety measures which smaller mines cannot afford have taken much of the danger out of mining, and huge machines eliminate the physical exhaustion. In a typical truck mine a man crawls into a low tunnel supported by timbers, blasts his coal with dynamite, and shovels it out onto carts by hand. There is always the danger of heavy chunks of shale falling on a man from the mine ceiling. The work is tough, grimy, and hazardous. At Inland's mine the roof is supported by long bolts, and the coal...
