Arthur,

LIFE had an editorial some years ago when the Seagram building was built in 
New York. Apparently, the architects had gone for beauty rather than a lump 
of concrete.

So, their property tax was increased.

The LIFE editorial said the Henry George must be spinning in his grave.

Like a top, no doubt.
