The Tower

For D.A.S. with love.

“It is the world’s tallest structure, and the most modern, an enduring tribute to man’s ingenuity, skill, and vision. It is a triumph of imagination”

—GROVER FRAZEE at The World Tower dedication ceremonies.

“A monument to Mammon, product of man’s insatiable ego, an affront to the gods. That so much treasure should have been poured into the construction of this—this monstrosity while poverty, yes, and even hunger still stalk the land, is an abomination! There will be inevitable Divine retribution!”

—THE REVEREND JOE WILLIE THOMAS in a press interview.

“Eyewitness accounts and expert testimony are at such variance that it is difficult, if not impossible, to know where the truth concerning this disaster may be found.”

—OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF INQUIRY.
