"The reformer has enemies in all those who profit by the old order, and only lukewarm defenders in all those who would profit by the new order, this lukewarmness arising partly from fear of their adversaries, who have the laws in their favor; and partly from the incredulity of mankind, who do not truly believe in anything new until they have had actual experience of it." - Machiavelli ||||||

This article reminded me of this 1957 interview between Frank Lloyd Wright and Mike Wallace. Notice the smoke, and the Phillip Morris plugs in the first few minutes of the interview. Oddly, FLW still seems as timeless as his architecture, while the political correctness about tobacco is now through the roof!
that's great - even from the opening credits with the smoke wafting past - egads! but yeah - the interview itself is very interesting - seems to me folks don't have the guts to speak their minds like this anymore - definitely pre-politically-correct. the synagogue in philly always stuck me as sort of darth vaderish and his greek orthodox church is one of my least favorite frank loyd wright buildings i've seen - not darthish but disneyish. HOWEVER i love many of his others and what he was able to bring to architecture. never knew he was so opinionated and informed on so many other subjects. thanks :)
