...financier intended to go broke building glass towers and ideal suburbs that nobody wanted to live in. And quite right too: for little in the history of architecture since the pharaohs quite equals the lofty disregard of human needs-the ordinary instinctive behavior of imperfect people wanting comfort-implicit in so many constructivist/Bauhaus designs...
...Implicit in Letteri's argument is the assumption that if the department spent less money on technology and systems experts, and more on beat patrolmen, there would not be a contract problem.

On a less dramatic plane, Bok and company may simply be guilty of unrealistic goals, the nature of which, Allison says, "is somewhat related to the character of the University...
