...The One-Minute Pundit

Monday, December 08, 2003


When the Maya Lin Memorial debuted over two decades ago, the news hacks jumped over one another to ooh and aah it, as it pungently reminded them of their central role in STOPPING A WAR AND DITCHING A PREZ AND CONDEMNING THE BOAT PEOPLE AND THE KILLING FIELDS PEOPLE AND...you get the idea. Now some SCRIBBLER calls the Lin memorial A CLICHE, which proves once again, ANYTHING PRAISED UNANIMOUSLY BY NEWS HACKS WON'T LAST.

By the way, did Maya Lin ever do anything else? I didn't think so. She's the one-hit wonder of architecture.
