Cultural ideas are inextricably entwined with the people who do
science, the questions they ask, the assumptions they hold and the
conclusions they land on.
Editor's Note: From the questions scientists begin with, to the

who recalls that one of his first appearances in the architectural
realm occurred while tearing down an Art Deco treasure, the old Bonwit
Teller building, and replacing it with a shiny glass tower meant for
the residence of the very rich in a midtown New York
non-neighborhood—an early instance of the now popular (and trendy)
building type, the Oligarch’s Erection. Nonetheless, the Trump
Administration, having now remade American medicine and remedied our
higher education, is hard at work reforming our buildings, with memos
on movie editing and how to write short stories doubtless on the way.
