Oh mais oui Empress! That was so extraordinarily good. I agree that Ric Burn's "The Center of the World" grapsed the depth and enormity of this subject/events better than anyone yet. The tightrope walking, and Koch and Cuomo at the end were my favorites as well. I was thorougly enjoying this as a history but when it reached the third hour, about 9/11 it opened up all the wounds in a very compassionate way. When Mario Cuomo was saying how something that includes every religion of the world has to be included at the site, I found myself saying "Yes!""Yes!" out loud through teary eyes. I had been thinking along the same lines. This was done with great skill, vision, and heart.
