PUSHING BACK ON BPCA PLANS
More on this soon, but in the meantime, The Post’s Steve Cuozzo goes on a tirade about the Battery Park City Authority’s plans to rebuild Wagner Park, and eventually Rockefeller Park, in order to make them storm-resistant and build a berm around the residential buildings. He writes: “The idea is supposedly to protect the park from a future storm surge. But to truly imperil Wagner Park would take a flood unseen since Biblical times — or one created in a Dreamworks special-effects studio. It’s too late to stop the plan despite years of community unease and outrage. Without divine intervention, it might be the most heinous act of civic vandalism since the original Penn Station was demolished in the 1960s.”

FEARLESS GIRL NFTs TO FUND LAWSUIT
The artist behind Fearless Girl, Kristen Visbal, has been in a legal battle with the company that funded the installation since 2019, and now she’s making NFTs to fund her $3.3 million legal costs. From Artnet: “The advertising agency McCann commissioned the sculpture as part of a marketing campaign for the asset management firm State Street Global Advisors, which covered the production costs. After the sculpture was installed, on International Women’s Day in 2017, it immediately went viral. Visbal made 25 additional editions of the work, each priced at $250,000. State Street sued, arguing that the artist was making unauthorized copies in violation of its trademark.”

A REVIEW OF ‘WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME?’
The Times reviews Tribeca Carmen Rita Wong’s new memoir, “Why Didn’t You Tell Me?”: “The subjects of ‘Why Didn’t You Tell Me?’ are weighty, ranging from Wong’s (justifiable) rage at her mother’s narcissism to her crushing grief after the loss of a sibling. But she tells her story in vivid conversational prose that will make readers feel they’re listening to a master storyteller on a long car trip.” It’s also a People magazine book of the week.

UTERINE CANCERS NOW ADDED TO 9/11 LIST
The Daily News reported that after being ignored for two decades, cancers of the uterus are expected to be added to a list of 9/11-related health conditions, “bringing a measure of equality to the women who breathed the toxic soup that hung over Ground Zero.” “It really is a man’s world,” ConEd retiree Cheryl Hall, who has uterine cancer, told the Daily News. “If males got uterine cancer, it would be on the top of the list of 9/11 illnesses.”
