Ambition is a thunder. A banging. A crash that makes the street tremble as if a giant were jumping through the street canyons. The noise echoes from the glass facades of the Marriott and the Wyndham, moving on to The W and the Kempinski, up and up Diplomatic Street – two miles of bright granite, lit at night by searchlights in their Light the jackhammers and excavators working against the clock and luxury limousines trying their way home. A stage of winners. And the loser. Depending on where you look from.
