The Man Who Walked Between the Towers

by Mordicai Gerstein

Summary: A lyrical evocation of Philippe Petit's 1974 tightrope walk between the World Trade Center towers.

This is a beautiful, true story. It may be used to celebrate the World Trade Center. A person should know his or his/her audience before reading it aloud, as it is a very sensitive subject for many.
