No raucous public meetings for the scholars, artists, and writers who oppose the planned renovation of the New York Public Library. Instead, critics?some of them signatories to a petition already signed by 1,000 people?held a panel at the New School. But the comments were much the same as at the average public meeting. "It might be best to start over again," said one opponent of the plan. "This boat doesn't float." [NYT; previously]
