IN THIS ISSUE...Since the 1990's, American planners have been infatuated with community designs from past decades or centuries. Here we look at an early American city through the eyes of a businessman, and contrast his views with a fairly humorous poem about the same city. What is beautiful about the US Constitution? We look very briefly at an early American painting. As we consider what we want Western civilization to look like, a man who has been refined by the fires of Eastern Europe, holds some cautionary flags. The founding of the Ivy League was meant by far-sighted leaders to be a gift to America's future. Two men educated in them left an indelible mark on American history. America's oldest city park has been the center of attention for almost 400 years. Finally, tradition or change or both?
