- name calling
"The agreed-upon centerpiece will allegedly be the world's tallest building.
It will hopefully total a patriotic 1,776 feet in height. It will supposedly include a spire whose silhouette will be inspired by the torch on the nearby Statue of Liberty."

" 'Sacred Ground' is a chronicle of the head-butting, arm- twisting and, to hear Libeskind tell it, bald-faced lying that ensued."
