...more visceral than that. "We feel better," the architecture critic and preservationist Brendan Gill has written, "when we find ourselves in the presence of the past, with its evidence of the mingled aspirations and disappointments of our ancestors." Walking along an old street among old buildings, the implicit history and sense of continuity are both reassuring and invigorating. The graceful proportions of facades are not arbitrary but the result of craft wisdom worked out over generations of trial and error. The scale of buildings and streets, based on human size and pedestrian stride, makes intuitive sense. Indeed, old sections...

When you lend someone your car, it is implicit that when they try to drive it, it will not blow up. But the real stomach-turner hits when one takes a look at how Harvard has handled the PBH affair...
