David Nasaw & Michael Wallace: New York City Subway Stars

Ride the NYC subway these days and you might find yourself starring up at an advertisement featuring the faces of David Nasaw (author of the new biography of Andrew Carnegie) and Michael Wallace (author of A New Deal for New York). CUNY is honoring the historians (and selling the school!). We took this photo on the #4 train headed downtown.

Nasaw is on the left, Wallace on the right.
