Dumb boxes', as I have written elsewhere, may be
the wave of the most creative future. Whether yes
or no, the sharp sting of Saarinens Bell Labs
building, and the story behind it, lingers on.
We must not avoid the questions it raises,
especially those of us who have made considerable
effort to explore other ways of thinking.
