British Critic Sir Denis Brogan liked to tell about an incident that happened just after President Andrew Jackson died. A visitor attending his funeral asked one of Jackson's slaves whether he thought the general would go to heaven. The slave replied, "He will if he wants to." Brogan added the moral: General Jackson was and is a symbol of the typical American...

It is pharaonic: a nucleus of ritual objects meant to serve the dead man in his next life, immured at the center of a transparent pyramid. Only a mummy is absent, but the eye of an irreverent visitor may easily stray to the center of the sunken atrium, half expecting to see a sarcophagus. Roche-Dinkeloo's design is elegant, icy and inflated. Lehman agreed that the new wing should have almost the same proportions as the Met's Great Hall - thus ensuring a large abstract monument to himself...
