Building for a Secure Future is the result of significant effort by both magazine staffs. ENR Associate Publisher Laura Viscusi, ENR Editor-in-Chief Jan Tuchman, AR Editor-in-Chief Robert Ivy and AR Advertising Director David Johnson conceived the section. The following staff members contributed copy: from ENR, Andrew G. Wright; Tom Ichniowski; Sherie Winston; Joann Gonchar; Mary Buckner Powers; Nadine Post; Andrew Roe; Aileen Cho; Paul Rosta; Stephen H. Daniels; from AR, Charles Linn and Rita F. Catinella. Debra K. Rubin, ENR, and Ingrid Whitehead, AR, edited copy. Anna Egger-Schlesinger, AR and Sue Pearsall, ENR, designed the issue, with assistance from Kris Rabasca, AR; and Guy Lawrence, Nancy Souillard and Maritza Hurtado, all from ENR; and freelancer Lillian Engle. Agnes B. Montalban-Salvio, ENR, directed production with layout assistance from Gary Graizzaro, ENR.
The twin shafts of light that pierce the Manhattan night are a fitting temporary memorial to those who died there last Sept. 11. The rubble at Ground Zero is almost cleared away, but the loss and pain lingers where the towers stood, like the phantom limb aches that amputees experience. While New Yorkers debate what sort of permanent monument and replacement structures are appropriate at the World Trade Center site, the Pentagon reconstruction goes rolling along as inevitably as those caissons in the Army anthem.
