I owe Alexander thanks for showing me, located at the southeastern corner of Central Park next to the Plaza Hotel, the magnificent bronze statue of the American Civil War's Union General William Tecumseh Sherman.

In a very different world, when I visited the United Nations Headquarters on the shores of the East River, I would have been paying a visit to the seat of global governance. (New York City as the planetary capital?)
That world, however, is not our world.
The photos I took of the three most visually prominent buildings in the complex--from top to bottom here, the General Assembly building, the Secretariat, and the Dag Hammarskjöld Library--illustrate a less imaginatively spectacular, but still useful, organization.
