...alleged underboss, closest friend--and brother-in-law. They grew up together. They worked together. J&S Cake, the social club that was headquarters for their rackets in the '70s and '80s, was named for them. What must Big Joey think of this fraternal betrayal? Perhaps his emotions echo those famous words from The Godfather: Part II: "I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart...

I love that someone had a modernist vision so complete that the furnishings and even stacks echo the architecture. I love that this vision was not entirely practical. Officeholders mosaic their sterile doors with photographs in an effort to humanize them. Librarians look cowed by the empty space surrounding them. For the Scandinavian Modern chairs’ part, there is a bruise on my spine from...
