...nearest man Post-Modernism has to a senior partner is, in fact, the leading American architect of his generation: Philip Cortelyou Johnson. The firm of Johnson-Burgee has become to American architecture what McKim, Mead & White was 80 years before: the voice of authority, flavored with luxury. Johnson's critics see him as a brilliant opportunist capable of adapting to any regime of taste: in effect, the Anastas Mikoyan of architectural ideology. Certainly Johnson has, with dazzling skill, traversed the whole range of 20th century manners: from the idealistic severities of the International Style (whose name, as an architecture critic...
...energy adviser (the third to be appointed), former Colorado Governor John Love said last week that he felt "battered and bruised." Richardson must have felt much the same way when he was forced to resign. By serving in three different Cabinet posts, Richardson incidentally matched another record. George Cortelyou, appointed by Theodore Roosevelt, was the only other man to hold three Cabinet positions-Treasury, Postmaster General, and Commerce and Labor-under one U.S. President...
...Chicago's De Paul, as at most U.S. Catholic colleges, modern thinkers were studied to be refuted rather than understood, as if philosophy were a kind of secular theology.

An artist or an architect conceives and creates, but then in the final analysis he's at the mercy of some writer-a man who knows absolutely nothing about what the artist spent his life trying to do-a man who uses up hours and days of his time asking him childish, idiotic...
...hostilities against Mrs. Bannerman because the latter serves Brown Betty for dessert. The scene is Serenity House, a resort version of Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic, whose guest list makes the crowd at Bleak House look like a convention of bond salesmen. There are, among others, the social arbiter Mrs. Cortelyou ("When above 79th Street, do as they do above 79th Street"); the warring psychiatrists Dr. Onan L. Digges ("the Saniflush of the Unconscious") and the "Freudy-cat" Dr. Selig J. Reichner; Miss La Fosse, who claims that she graduated from Vassar at twelve and rode "pillion on an older...
