Mirror, Mirrer

Following up on my last post, the powers at Landmark West! have alerted me to the Community Board 7 meeting planned for Thursday, Feb. 8 at 7 p.m. at the Fourth Universalist Society. The New York Historical Society will be presenting Phase One to CB7's Parks and Preservation Committee.

This is a perfect time for people concerned about Phase II to attend, and not just to see the Reverend McNatt in poiseful action.

In the novel of this story, people bring hand mirrors of some kind--perhaps c. 1804--and bob them silently aloft whenever the Louise Mirrer character speaks. If she can still look people in the eye, why not help her to the next step of living with herself if Phase Two continues its march toward reification?

Since this meeting will represent the real-life version of events, I doubt anybody will bring a hand mirror to hold aloft.

In any case: Make history matter.
