This is the way I heard it.

No doubt about it.

But Craig's was bigger.

Not by much, but in a contest where every inch-mattered Craig had more inches.

So Bill made a few adjustments, and soon his was once again bigger than Craig's.

But then Craig made some adjustments of his own, and now Craig's was not only bigger

than Bill's.

It was also more interesting to look at, thanks to the enormous tip on the end.

But Bill had one more trick up his sleeve, and when the measuring finally stopped, one

of these men would proudly claim the world's biggest direction.

When it comes to New York City architecture, size matters.

And no one knew that better than Bill the artist and Craig, the businessman.

Two famous architects who became bitter rivals in their quest to erect the tallest building

Bill was the artistic genius, brilliance, but mostly void of charisma.

Craig was the consummate businessman, handsome, silver-tongued, and highly motivated.

Together they had been a perfect team.

Craig landed the high-profile commissions, and Bill designed the impressive groundbreaking

structures that made them both rich.
