Itisan interesting observation from an official always worth listening to although the voters - as far as I know - have expressed no interest or support for "the Europeanisation of national political life".
One interesting point about this observationis that it requires both a genetic input (the 7R variant) and an environmental one (the network of friends) to take effect.
Anobservation commonly made about engineering is that a structure will be beautiful if it hews closely to the laws of physics, that "elegance" accrues naturally to designs that obey and embody the forces.
The current top observation deck at 1, 250 feet is enclosed, but in the original plans it was an outdoor platform where you loaded on and off trans-Atlantic dirigibles parked over midtown.
