Even joking about becoming President is rare for a candidate who is so superstitious that in mild Arizona he wears the heavy winter shoes from New Hampshire, just for good luck. But McCain is giddy because he was supposed to be dead by now. From New Hampshire to South Carolina to Michigan, his mood has hit highs and lows. The banter on his bus started to go dry in ferocious South Carolina; he was testy with reporters.

Exploded boxes appeal right away to that place in the brain that hates not just Modernism but also modernity, the part that cheers when some atrocious housing project gets brought down with dynamite. As it happens, Modernism itself flourished in a world that had been blown away by the physical and psychic clearance project of World War II. Postwar corporations wanted triumphant office towers that owed nothing to the rubble of the old world...
