Summary:

"Fifty years ago, in 1964, Minoru Yamasaki's proposed design for the World Trade Center was first revealed to the public ... With the new World Trade Center slowly approaching completion, the importance and irreplaceability of the original becomes more evident. CLOG will therefore critically examine that which has forever been lost--the World Trade Center, dedicated April 4, 1973"--Page 5.
