Well, if it’s too traditional or uninspiring to them, there are others who find it traditional in an inspiring way — that one can go back to go forward and restate things that are there.

Definitely one of the highlights:
That’s a term used for a lot of people. But since my name is Stern and “Stern” means star, I think that’s perfectly good. It’s all the other people that are intruding.
Yo!
Sci Arc, 1980.
An impromptu conversation between Robert Stern who was visiting the school and Eric Moss, a young and ambitious professor teaching there;
EM- "Bla... bla... post modernism... bla... bla..."
RS- "Lemme tell you about post modernism young man..."
little big man conservatively talking down to the world.......... as usual.
I think it's the other way around. General populace talk down at Stern and he likes to show who is the boss in beautifully composed frames.
pomo ain't conservative
what's postmo? a lazy pluraist joke?
.....imagining Yale when Stern retires...
