Magazine, September 5, 1993:
I feel an incredible sympathy for the maligned communist
bureaucrats who tried to provide housing to all the people. But
they made certain mistakes by not being aware of certain aspects of
the human soul. I mean, to build unbelievably ugly housing with no
corners of beauty in it was misguided because people felt depressed
in those buildings. The next round of leftists has to be aware of
every aspect of the human soul, including the desire to read
"People" and enjoy it and why we enjoy it and what need it
fulfills.
