Heidi,

Please get your Wright stories straight.  Do you, or do you not, like
Fallingwater?  I thought the early Chicago/Oak Park stuff  (Charnley House,
Home/Office, Unity Temple) was neat, but don't care at all for the later
stuff he --or his minions--did  with circle templates. Or octagon, hexagon,
triangle, etc.  he lived too damn long.  And I still haven't been into the
Guggenheim.
