You can still keep to Wright's relentless ramp, but now you can also break away at four different levels into the new building and wander the loftlike galleries freely. Gwathmey has opened up the place, clearing away clutter and creating dozens of new architectural moments -- glimpses of Central Park, comfortably arm's-length views of the great ramp itself, details of the Wright building freshly revealed.

A year ago, East Germany was choking on soft-coal fumes and immobilized by the clutter of failure." Now, he notes, the cities are cleaner, people are driving Volkswagens and buying VCRs, and yet "nobody is happy. Physical shabbiness has been replaced by a palpable psychic gloom." In western Germany, meanwhile, Jackson finds "crabbiness and penny pinching. It is as if achieving their dream of unity and unprecedented security were...
