Speaking before a crowd of several hundred commuters Friday at a ceremony marking the 100th anniversary of the opening of Grand Central Terminal, Mayor Michael Bloomberg talked of two "icons" in city history: the terminal building and Edward I. Koch.
Koch, the feisty former three-term mayor who served between Jan. 1, 1978, and Dec. 31, 1989, died at 2 a.m. Friday. He was 88.
