STOCKHOLM: A $1 billion, seven-year renovation of the aging United Nations headquarters in New York will start this fall, according to the Swedish construction company that said it had won the bid to manage the project.One billion dollars, eh? Expect it to eventually cost twice that much.
The sprawling 39-story glass-and-steel complex, overlooking the East River, has not seen a major overhaul since it was built more than half a century ago and now violates safety and fire codes.

It's time we reviewed Donald Trump's Senate testimony on the UN's intention to renovate the old building.
And another plug for Eye on the UN.
