Quotations of William S.

Roosevelt Island is starting to look a lot like the fulcrum of which Archimedes spoke. A crowning achievement of the Information Age is about to take shape in New York Harbor. Thank you Cornell, Technion, Chuck Feeney and Mike Bloomberg for this stunning demonstration of leverage. This meeting of commerce, finance, informatics, technology and advertising will animate the production base of the Information Age.
