March 28, 1991: “For the Grand Central neighborhood, the lighting of the terminal is considered not only esthetic enhancement of its Beaux Arts ornamentation and sculpture,” wrote The Times, “but also a security device that will deter street crime.” And so, the fruits of a project that cost more than $3 million were unveiled at a ceremonial switch-flicking that included the actor Tony Randall.
