Sounds like "Gold In Sacks."

I don't want to start a torchlight parade, that's the farthest thing from my mind, but . . .
what enormously successful financial institution with deep and lasting ties to the federal government is - amid torrents of negative publicity (deserved and un) - building a glamorous, new headquarters tower in Lower Manhattan. Parking a giant, inflatable rat - of the kind that unions use - in front of the nearly completed building is the absolute last thing that I want to happen, (No Michael Moore I) but . . . if you were to look for this angular, 43-story glass edifice, I wouldn't look in the Wall Street area. Instead, I'd go north into one of the most family-centered neighborhoods in Manhattan. Near one of the city's best public high schools, a more-than-comfortable example of senior housing and a relatively new, waterfront park named after one of New York's most illustrious families. That's all I'm saying. You'll get no more facts from me. If protestors build a tent city on the athletic fields immediately adjacent to the site, it won't be because of me. No, sir.
