Mateo Taussig-Rubbo, associate professor of law, is interviewed in The New York Times about the things people saved -- a piece of a t-shirt, a subway ticket, some dust from the collapse of the first tower -- following the Sept. 11 attacks. They are significant because the objects, particularly those directly related to the catastrophe, he says, "are no longer what they appear to be. They are something else."
