I was referring to the NY Times building at 8th Ave. and 40th Street. Which
admittedly, is now accepting non-Times tenants. But it is the Times's (well
at least in theory) and is a tower.

Since his words are being recopied over and over it is appropriate to
note that the New York Times Company has not owned or made any use of
the 'Times' Tower in 'Times' Square for decades.   Even the moving
display of "news flashes" (intermixed with advertisements) is not from
the Times.

Proper/place names are extraordinarily resistant to change, but
inferences from names to things are perilous.
