••• Feb. 18: The story behind the Statue of Liberty, an improbable gift from the French.
••• Feb. 25: Nancy Schulman of Avenues on the importance of discipline—setting limits, saying no, and accepting no.

THOSE SEAPORT PLANS ARE NOT ON HOLD AFTER ALL
The city’s Economic Development Corporation begs to differ about local politicians’ claims that the Howard Hughes Corp.’s plans for the Seaport are paused; the task force plans are still in effect, and they may slow down the process, but they may not.
