The MagazineThe Lady Is a LampWhat you don’t know about the Statue of Liberty.Oct 22, 2012, Vol. 18, No. 06
• By EMILY SCHULTHEIS
 Berenson details the complicated 1986 restoration (including new rivets precovered with Liberty’s signature green patina to avoid a polka-dot look), completed in time for her centennial, for which New York hosted a four-day party. On the occasion, Paul Goldberger described her in the New York Times as a “gesture of welcoming. . . . This great figure standing at the edge pulls New York together [and gives] the city an anchor. . . . The city that is too large and too busy to stop for anyone seems, through this statue, to stop for everyone.” Emily Schultheis is an assistant editor at National Affairs. Page 3 of 3
