THE world's power address du jour is a sheath of soaring black glass on Fifth Avenue, at the entrance to which an officer in combat armour - his fingers on an assault rifle - took a moment the other day to tell a tourist where to find the city's best pizza.
A parade of technology tycoons bounded by, on their way to meet the building's developer and best-known resident, President-elect Donald Trump, a procession monitored in the lobby by a swarm of Secret Service agents, reporters and spectators that included one Kit Regone of Maryland. "It's befitting a king," the retired production manager said, standing behind a velvet rope and taking in all the pink marble, golden mirrors, gleaming escalators and ever-tinkling, four-storey waterfall that define Trump Tower's lobby.
