freep.com	NEW EXHIBIT AT THE HENRY FORD CAPTURES LIFE ON THE TITANIC, 100 YEARS AFTER. Titanic. It's a word that captures a multitude of huge stories and ideas in just seven letters: Technological innovation and hubris, the rise of disaster journalism, the divide between the 1% and the 99%, Hollywood triumph and excess, and, of course, tragedy and loss of life on a piercingly human level. Whatever meaning the word had before April 14, 1912, it has grown far beyond the size of the great ship, thanks to an enduring fascination with the circumstances surrounding its wreck and the aftermath. Now, knocking at the door of the centennial of Titanic's single doomed voyage, Henry Ford Museum is launching its largest visiting exhibition ever, clocking in at 10,000 square feet of period re-creations and actual artifacts recovered from the briny deep where the ship's remains now rest. ...	25th March 2012
	NEWYORK 1909 (FRONT) Hotel Knickerbocker. New York City, 1909. An Astor family Hotel, the Knickerbocker, designed by Trowbridge and Livingston, opened in 1906. It stood at the corner of Broadway and 42nd Street, and its theater district location made it popular with people in the entertainment industry; Enrico Caruso maintained a suite at the Knickerbocker, as did Lusitania victim Charles Frohman. In 1921, the Knickerbocker was converted to business use by Vincent Astor, son of its original owner. For 19 years, Newsweek magazine was headquartered in the former Knickerbocker. The old hotel outlived its other rivals on Times Square~ the Hotel Astor which was demolshed in 1968, and the Claridge which was removed in 1972. It came full circle when in the 1980s, under the stewardship of Leona Helmsley, it was restored and partially converted back to luxury apartments....
