Ground Zero Museum Rises Under New York City
Beneath the World Trade Center site the National September 11 Memorial and Museum advances after a yearlong funding dispute and a Sandy flood. About 130 workers labor daily as artifacts go on display, with plans to open in spring 2014. Curators emphasize education over beauty as steel, slurry walls, and the Ground Zero Cross convey the tragedy and resilience.

Alexander Hanna and Von Hudson ask the New Mexico Supreme Court to compel the Santa Fe County clerk to issue a marriage license claiming denial violates the state constitution. Attorney Brian Egolf, a sponsor of the gay marriage amendment, says the case is moving to the high court for a swift decision rather than extended district or federal litigation.

Diaz-Balart notes bipartisan push on a Senate passed plan that raises border security funding by 46 billion dollars, doubles Border Patrol, completes 700 miles of fencing, and links a 13-year path to citizenship to enforced measures. The proposal would require employers to verify work status and create new visa programs and tracking at ports, amid debate over a temporary status for undocumented residents.
