Report from The Culture War

Writer and former New York City firefighter Dennis Smith has a fine opinion piece in the Daily News today questioning the choice for the September 11th memorial at the World Trade Center site.

In all the commentary on the design, I have not seen one article that could be called a rave. Everyone has an objection, or at least a reservation, about the square pools surrounded by trees. It is minimalist architecture that is supposed to inspire Americans for generations to come. In fact, it is pulp architecture that, like pulp fiction, is a secondary thing.
