The Beekman Tower got some press in this weekend’s Times. Their pic gives a better feel for the “crinkled steel surface” than the previous ones posted here. The article’s mention was brief:

… Frank Gehry’s 76-story Beekman Tower continues to rise despite worries over the project’s financing. The 80-year-old Mr. Gehry’s first skyscraper, it will reshape the downtown skyline, offering a counterpoint to the ornate terracotta facade of the 1913 Woolworth building, one of the city’s most historic towers.
