With a surprised "Oh, no," and a lusty "Gosh awful," Patriarchitect Frank Lloyd Wright, 89, summering at his home and workshop in Spring Green, Wis., recoiled from photos of a ten-story addition to Tokyo's Wright-designed Imperial Hotel, said the annex' streamlined "International Style" was "neither international nor style." The labyrinthine Imperial, completed in 1922, had withstood the great 1923 Kwanto earthquake, while much of Tokyo fell to rubble. World War II's firebombings did not destroy it.

...patiently and day by day, is to teach that work can be fun, that the only real reward that life offers is the thrill of achievement. A hole in one isn't half as thrilling as landing a big order-a piece of furniture built in your basement workshop will never be as thrilling as a sales plan that works. You and I cannot take care of the whole nation, perhaps, but we can do such a job in our own small corners that others may notice the light and begin to imitate...
