editorial Mr. Snow describes his awe at seeing the Steel for the first time
and how he views it as a most appropriate WWII memorial: "There has been
a lot of planning for a national World War II memorial lately, but for my
money I'd like to see the Bethlehem works preserved- or, rather, simply
not torn down." Woman wears childhood Steel

At Bethlehem steel plant site, a chance to save a bit of history The Morning Call article is about the local political situation, which
is affecting the redevelopment of the Steel site. To reach its greatest
potential, and provide maximum benefit to the citizens of the Lehigh Valley,
this project needs open dialogue and cooperation from every level. Please
contact Representative Rooney, City Council President Schweder, and Mayor
Callahan to insist that they put these differences aside and work together
for the good of their constituents. Arts park pitched for old
