MIKE WALLACE offers some reflections
on the swirl of post-September 11 proposals for rebuilding
New York and some concrete suggestions-rooted in his take
on the city's history-for ways Gotham might push ahead into
the twenty-first century. Wallace will also discuss his forthcoming
book, A New Deal for New York City.

NOVEMBER 22, 2002 - 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
This day-long conference will address
the original New Deal, its rollbacks and revivals in the second
half of the twentieth century, and its potential as a model
for the future. The conference will consists of four sessions.
THE OLD NEW DEAL will look at what the New Deal accomplished
in NYC and how it did so. NEW DEAL DOWNSIDES will examine the
limitations of the original New Deal, particularly in regard
to race and gender. THE SLOW PASSING OF THE NEW DEAL will focus
on attacks on and defenses of New Deal programs from the late-'40s
to the '90s. Finally, THE NEW NEW DEAL will speculate on the
degree to which a re-crafted New Deal could serve as an organizing
model for a new liberal comeback.
Participants will incude: THOMAS KESSNER, author, Fiorello
H. LaGuardia and the Making of Modern New York; FRANCES
FOX PIVEN, author, Why Americans Still Don't Vote; ALAN
BRINKLEY, author, The End of Reform: New Deal Liberalism

Class New York: Life and Labor Since World War II; JOHN
