Subject: Norman Foster at NYPL

A tad bit off subject, but I was wondering what our Alice at NYPL might
think of the big news that the esteemed British architect, Lord Norman
Foster, is about to do some kind of remodel in the grand old NYC
landmark/icon in which she works.

I was sufficiently impressed by wandering around Lord F.'s stunning
HSBC headquarters in Hong Kong, and yes, he is king of airport design,
but what's he going to do with Carrère & Hastings' masterpiece, install
a bunch of metal and glass stuff, or something?
