Culture used to be thought of as almost the exclusive property of the Eastern Seaboard, which occasionally cast a few blessed raindrops over the cultural desert to the West. Today there is scarcely a city worthy of the name that does not have its own thriving cultural life. Chicago, for example, recently accepted the design for a massive sculpture by Pablo Picasso as the frontispiece for the new city center-a work that even the most...
