Simon spent the Korean War as an Army private in West Germany, interrogating East German defectors. A diary he briefly kept during this period tends toward the prosaic: "Attended Easter Service in downtown Stuttgart. Went away very much uninspired." Back in Troy, he mounted an uphill campaign for state representative in 1954 "to show that you could beat the system." By dint of his innate friendliness and the hard work of shaking 30,000 hands, he succeeded...

...modest understatement: Van Gogh sold, as everyone knows, one painting in his life, and it was not Sunflowers. If only he had had what we have today -- a million millionaires clamoring for art, corporate art advisers breeding like Gucci-shod mice in every cranny from Tokyo to Stuttgart, the whole grotesque edifice of sanctimony, hype, greed and social mummery that has been raised above bones like his.

A kind of oversize trompe l'oeil portcullis, Zueblin House is monumental and yet entirely permeable, lucid but not glib. The clear, simple axes and pitched-roof profile are classical, and the expansive ectoskeletal shed seems snatched from some 19th century dream of the 20th. The building's priapic pivot alludes to Bohm's own pioneering work: the central spiraling stair could...
