Review of Charlie Zimmerman, Water Tower Builder

Joe Richman's "New York Works" series remind me of the best Murray Kempton columns. It's a sensitivity and a style not to mention a sound that's missing from our media and our lives. Richman champions real people who discourse knowledgeably and beautifully on the mundane and the notorious. This series would be a treat anytime; how about this summer during the Repbulican convention?
