There are two warring factions within the department: the Empiricists, who work by the book and dutifully check for striations on the winch cable and such; and the Intuitionists, who are simply able to enter the elevator cab in question, meditate, and intuit any defects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Colossus of New York\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA masterful evocation of the city that never sleeps, The Colossus of New York captures the city's inner and outer landscapes in a series of vignettes, meditations, and personal memories.
