The NYTimes Westchester section did pick my letter...
they edited out my reference to "Neither" winning the
official poll,they say for reasons of space...but it's in print!

(Tal Barzilai found the URL,I had the paper).

9 more bone fragments were found Wednesday
and we can hope memorial construction is slowed.
The Daily News has a story on firefighters' relatives
active in the bone hunt:

Spitzer's state-of-the-state address has been viewed from
different angles:

That he did not specify details of the "progress" he wanted at the
WTC site may or may not be encouraging...the Twin Towers Alliance
has updated the auto-sent letter you can have delivered to him by
visiting their website but of course individual messages carry good
weight.

Steve Cuozzo's latest Post column offers more of his typical
no-time-to-reconsider-build-right-NOW impatience...

It's interesting that he sees more inclination to revisit the
plan assumptions in the remarks of new PA Executive Director Shorris
than I did...I contrasted Shorris's indication that everyone wanted
"progress" and "momentum" with Spitzer's "Day One,Everything Changes"
when I wrote to Spitzer.

If you don't want "progress" down the wrong paths,
but a redirection of momentum onto better ones to be
what's treated as urgent...WRITE THE POST!

letters@nypost.com and they're the only New York paper
that doesn't specify they want to see your postal address
and phone number.

It's a new year...but we've got battles to fight with new vigor.

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
