Quote of the Day

I am greatly pleased with the city of New York. Its harbor entrance, its piers, buildings and broad avenues are magnificent and beautiful. Truly, it is a wonderful city.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá

‘ABDU’L-BAHÁ ARRIVED BACK in the city late yesterday evening. He’ll stay in New York for just over three weeks before heading up the east coast for a month-long trip to Dublin, New Hampshire and Eliot, Maine..

In the week ahead: a profile of New Yorker Juliet Thompson, Woodrow Wilson wins the Democratic nomination, and fireworks on the Fourth of July.
