"The problem on all fronts is money, as the developer Larry Silverstein watches his contribution to the tower's building fund diminish and federal promises of the full $21 billion in post-9/11 aid grow fainter by the day. Only last week, the governor's office acknowledged that Mr. Pataki had appealed to President Bush to help convert $5 billion in tax breaks to cash in order to help the downtown area. This idea, floated earlier by Mayor Bloomberg's office, makes sense. The tax breaks would not help in Lower Manhattan as much as direct aid. But cash — estimated in the range of $2 billion to $3 billion — could certainly boost an area still suffering from the aftershocks of 9/11."
"Bruno Latour is a social scientist whose writings and collaborative work mediate between the fields of sociology, anthropology, science, technology, art and architecture. He emphasizes experimentation as a tool for decoding the connections between the human and non-human world. In his latest book, Politics of Nature: How to Bring the Sciences into Democracy (2004), he argues for a rethinking of political language around what he terms “attachment” and "critical proximity," that is, the notion that people and things are intimately connected through politics"

"Congress and the Department of Housing and Urban Development have been playing a transparent game of "good cop, bad cop" since HUD set out to savage Section 8, the federal program that provides housing subsidies for the poor. Republicans in Congress say they budgeted enough money to underwrite the program, and they blame recalcitrant officials at HUD for the cutbacks — while the agency, in turn, maintains that it is doing what Congress told it to do.
Behind the game, however, both sides seem intent on squeezing money from the HUD budget to help pay for all those tax cuts for the rich, even if it means exposing thousands of poor families to the possibility of eviction."
