Seattle Public Library

I have applied for a travel scholarship to visit this library. I might have mentioned that I am working on designing a public library building for my Masters Design Study.

Molly Ivins, 1944-2007

After Patrick J. Buchanan, as a conservative candidate for president, declared at the 1992 Republican National Convention that the United States was engaged in a cultural war, she said his speech “probably sounded better in the original German.”

Her subject was Texas. To her, the Great State, as she called it, was “reactionary, cantankerous and hilarious,” and its Legislature was “reporter heaven.” When the Legislature is set to convene, she warned her readers, “every village is about to lose its idiot.”

A wonderful writer has passed. I will miss you Molly Ivins.
