Knee-jerk no help in talk of the tower

Article Abstract:

The millennial tower designed for London, England, by Sir Norman Foster has attracted exaggerated reactions among both its supporters and its critics. It is now time to try to have a logical, critical debate about this structure, which is set to be a significant landmark in the city at the beginning of the 21st century. It has the potential to be a celebratory symbol, and for this reason should be regarded positively.
