Tom Wolfe's Sunday NY Times Op-Ed

"Tom Wolfe's full-spread Op-Ed piece in Sunday's New York Times is required reading for anyone who cares about New York City. Period."

"The (Naked) City and the Undead," 11/26/06, pp10-11. A few quotes can hardly do justice to Wolfe's dead-on assessment of the "undead" Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) and its downward spiral." - Landmark West!

I once heard him speak in the Student Union of the University at Buffalo, NY, with Reverend Abernathy back in the early 1970s about their respective views on the causes of urban riots that once (and again) rocked the USA, also researched by a federal commission.
