"Some family members of those who died worry that it will merely commemorate architecture rather than the victims and heroes. In part to assuage them, the title was changed from 'Towers of Light' to 'Tribute in Light.'"

In part? What was the other part? Perhaps that the current owner of the WTC property plans to rebuild actual, glass-and-steel towers, and didn't want people thinking that only a ghostly outline will appear on the site?

"Tribute in Light" sounds like "Holiday on Ice." LaVerdiere and Myoda should have withdrawn from the project, once the title and concept was compromised to that extent. Fame is a bitch-goddess.
