World Trade Center Will Be Rebuilt

"'It would be the tragedy of tragedies not to rebuild this part of New York,' said Larry Silverstein, who closed on the $3.2 billion deal with his partner Westfield America Inc. in late July. 'It would give the terrorists the victory they seek,' Mr. Silverstein said in an interview from his Fifth Avenue office. He hadn't given any interviews since the attack Tuesday.Mr. Silverstein, 70 years old, a New York civic leader as well as a prominent developer, emphasized that any planning for rebuilding has to wait until after people deal with the human toll of the tragedy. He said he has been 'absolutely staggered' by the loss of life, which may include four of his employees, who are still missing."
