A remarkable read on the story of great engineering, “beauty in the eyes of the beholder” a case for historic preservation, and the cultural snobbery of the national trust. Let’s save the “Ratcliff Towers” for all the right reasons.

Frank O. Gehry, Titan of Architecture, Is Dead at 96 www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/a...

I remember him visiting at Tulane University in 1980 and lecturing. I thought “wow is this guy having a great time or what?” Inspired, controversial, not to be ignored nor forgotten.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if all the jobs were lost because of the failures of misguided adventures of the current administration and not from the frenzy over Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The perfect algorithm works to distract us from the real reasons.

And we are lost….

Italian singer Adriano Celentano released a song in the 70s with nonsensical lyrics meant to sound like American English — to prove that Italians would just love any American song.

It was a hit.
