The awareness of empire turns up everywhere these days. Nicolai Ouroussoff on the predictably yclept Freedom Tower:
The darkness at ground zero just got a little darker. If there is anyone still clinging to the expectation that the Freedom Tower will become a monument of the highest American ideals, the current design should finally shake them out of that delusion. …
