...would be foolish to think that, even with the release of these documents, the work of the DAS will have been unfolded in every detail. The papers do not by themselves describe the impact of the agency where it has functioned or the innermost thoughts of those who have taken part in it. But as members of an academic community and, presumably, an open society, DAS officials should feel obligated to offer their public every possible criterion for appraisal and judgment...

To a large extent, he succeeded. Summarizing his achievement in a speech some time ago, Architect Philip Johnson said: "Le Corbusier invents, invents magnificently and, as at Ronchamps, makes a new shape of monument for the world to admire. Mies purifies and purifies till, as at Seagram, he makes...
