This was Saturday, two weekends ago, when she and her husband, architect Daniel Libeskind, had been scheduled to fly back to Berlin, where their daughter, Rachel, was due back in school. But the afternoon before, they'd met with officials of the Port Authority and the Lower Manhattan Development Corp., who asked for modifications to Libeskind's plan for ground zero, a design that would leave the excavated basin in its exposed state while building the world's tallest tower alongside, with a garden inside."
