| | PBS to air 'New York' series finale (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | Introduced in a harsh new world of fear and full alert, the film brings perspective to why people everywhere have long understood, even without knowing they know, that the human experience is bound up in New York's destiny. |
 | | Airing Sunday, The City of Tomorrow covers 1929 to 1945, years dominated by two New York giants: the beloved, whirlwind Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia and urban uber-builder Robert Moses, who, with his highways, parks, bridges and public housing, was both masterful and maniacal in his campaign to create a bold new city. |
 | | An essaylike coda to the series, maybe airing next September, it would perform the opposite function of the series, which was consumed with a city's magnificent presence. |
