- Summary:
- What is most amazing about E.B. White's "Here Is New York," This book written in 1948 says: "A single flight of planes no bigger than a wedge of geese can quickly end this island fantasy, burn the towers, crumble the bridges, turn the underground passages into lethal chambers, cremate the millions." The city is both the perfect target and the perfect demonstration of nonviolence. White says, "This is why it is a capital of the world.
