Topic: George Browne Post


  
  George B. Post - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Browne Post (December 15, 1837 - November 28, 1913) was a U.S. architect trained in the Beaux-Arts tradition.
Post was a student of Richard Morris Hunt, but unlike many architects of his generation, he had previously received a degree in civil engineering (New York University, 1858).
Among the prominent private houses by Post were the French chateau for Cornelius Vanderbilt II (1879–82) that once stood at Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, and the palazzo that faced it across the street, for Collis P. Huntington (1889–94).

Posted by: Stefan Karlsson at December 17, 2005 5:41 AM Krugman isn't writing as an economist, he's writing as the most disgusting of intellectual prostitutes bent on supporting violence against the whole of the people that shop and work at Wal-Mart.

Posted by: P.M.Lawrence at December 22, 2005 11:07 PM As an Austrian economist and free-market anarchist, I had often found myself among friends and acquaintances put to the defense of Walmart against the many inane charges regularly leveled in the establishment media by pseudo-pundits.

 Libertarian Harry Browne on George Bush   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
In sum, George Bush seems very good on things that don't count – gun bills he hasn't had to veto, environmental treaties that won't be enacted anyway, talking about the ABM treaty or reforming Social Security while doing nothing about them.
Browne and most libertarians have a simple problem of wanting all or nothing, their way or the highway.

 Harry Browne: Bush in Ireland
The president roused Middle Ireland from its indifference mainly with a nasty, tetchy performance in a pre-journey TV interview on RTE's Prime Time, and with the White House's crybaby reaction to it--including refusing the relevant journalist, Carole Coleman, a previously agreed interview with the First Lady.
She's the sort of foreign correspondent who is content to find her line in the local mainstream media, regurgitating wisdom about the world as seen by CNN and the Washington Post.
To be sure, as the US media has found a small amount of election-year aggression, her work has reflected that, albeit faintly and soporifically.

Lunette: Panel from the Cornelius Vanderbilt II House, New York, ca.
This lunette is one of numerous decorative elements—leaded-glass windows, murals, a sculpted ceiling, and embroidered tapestries—that La Farge provided for the enormous châteaulike mansion of Cornelius Vanderbilt II, designed by the architect George Browne Post and built on Fifty-seventh Street between 1880 and 1882.
In its design of arabesques incorporating grotesques and the central motif of an urn surmounted by a mask of Neptune, the lunette recalls Renaissance and Pompeiian ornament.
