ALT2:... that Morris Lapidus begged for two years to design New York City's Olympic Tower(pictured), only to be fired after a special zoning district was created in the nearby area?

Length and history verified. All online refs verified, rest taken in GF. No copyright issues. Images good. Only issue is that in ALT1, reference shows it was not the Robert F. Wagner Jr. who was mayor, but rather his son, who was never mayor but at the relevant time chaired the city's Planning Commission. The hook needs to be so amended.

@Daniel Case: Whoops, I did not realize I made that mistake. That is a good catch - I sometimes get confused between the two. I have fixed it now. Epicgenius (talk) 23:31, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Move "Use" templates below the hatnote.
Add alt text to every image being used.
"the most dense" → "the densest"
"a wind blew" - is the "a" necessary?
Don't use colons in the sentence starting with "Law firm".
