The Way It Was

Visiting New York, we cats gazed upon the World Trade Center many times, but never entered it. So we were pleased to see that The New Yorker is helping spread the word about some recently discovered, haunting WTC interiors. The photos, which also include views from the restaurant Windows On The World, were taken by an Estonian immigrant who worked the night shift there in the summer of 2001.

It just goes to show you: One, that although works by Rodin, Calder, Lichtenstein and Picasso were lost when the Twin Towers were destroyed, some unexpected art has survived. Two, that you never know what important contributions immigrants are going to make to the history of our country.
