Mark Twain And His St. Bernard

Mark Twain was a renowned American writer, often called the greatest humorist of all time. Some people refers to him as the father of U.S. literature. Few people know that dogs were a major inspiration for his work, and as this photo of him and one of his three dogs shows, he felt a deep connection to the animal. One of his best and famous quotes refers to the fact that if getting into heaven was done on merit, dogs would get in before people would.

The memory of the two towers might be shrouded in pain and devastation thanks to the events of 9/11, but that doesn’t mean that the original construction of the buildings should be forgotten in the history books. The port authority paid nearly $1 billion for the project to start in 1966. By 1979, both towers were ready and sold. The project might have taken a long time, but it had relatively few hiccups along the way, which is somewhat uncommon if you look at typical real estate developments today.
