  JewishEncyclopedia.com - DAVID.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
David's next solicitude was to provide another center for his new kingdom; for, aside from the ancient rivalry between Judah and Joseph, the position of Hebron, in the extreme south, made it impossible for David, as King of all Israel, to remain there.
David subdued and made tributary to the new Israelitish kingdom the cognate tribes of Moab, Ammon, and Edom, as well as their neighbors on the northern frontier of Israel, the Arameans, who had joined the Ammonites in a war against David and his kingdom.
David's kindness of heart is clearly shown in his behavior toward this wayward son, for he not only tried to save the latter's life, but the sevenfold repetition of Absalom's name in his dirge had the effect of saving him from the seven fires, or divisions, of hell (Soṭah 10b).

A former Yale architecture student says Freedom Tower designer David Childs stole his skyscraper idea and turned it into the centerpiece for the rebuilding of the World Trade Center.
Thomas Shine says he created his "Olympic Tower" for a Yale architecture class and presented it in December 1999 to a panel of jurists that included Childs.
Shine's attorney, Andrew Baum, said his client's design - a twisting tower and exterior grid - is similar to Childs' design, a 1,776-foot tower with a 276-foot spire meant to evoke the Statue of Liberty torch.

Their blueprints, environmental impact statements, and etc. are  more detailed than anything Governor Pataki's crew has produced.  And as we wrote a few nights ago, the Gardner/Belton group even has a 9-foot architectural model for any skeptical reporters and city officials who bother to take a look.
What are the security concerns?  The tower, under the current plan, is supposed to be built on a part of the pit that is less than 20 meters from two major thoroughfares.
