...months ago the town of Wayzata, Minnesota (pop. 4000 and the "jewel of Lake Minnetonka"), made it onto the map when it vowed to take back the night - or, rather, to take back afternoons and vacation days from the ever-tightening grip of extracurricular activities.

He makes no claims to being a great long-range corporate planner, even to the point of refusing to keep an appointment calendar. Jacobs is a person of instinct and action. Says he: "You can't predict what I'm going to do next because there is no track, no character...

The present revival, however, focuses on Wright's early domestic architecture, his houses and, significantly, their interior designs.
