A Woman of a Certain Age


The Statue of Liberty is about to receive another makeover costing $27.25 million (see: Lady Liberty Upgrade).  This seems a little surprising in that the Lee Iacoco-managed complete 100-year restoration, costing $89 million, had just been completed in 1986 (see: 1986 Restoration) and a $20 million security upgrade was done in 2004.  One would think that such extensive restorations,  a mere 7 years and 25 years ago, would have held up a mite site longer?
