From the column Best of The Web today, in the Online Journal division of the Wall Street Journal, comes a little known fact about tomorrow's debate, and a bad omen for John F-ing Kerry.
"The Baghdad Opera House Debate
London's Sunday Observer offers a fascinating historical aside on the site of tomorrow night's presidential debate:
In his fading years, the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright embarked on a final grand project. Invited in 1957 by King Faisal of Iraq to design a new opera house, Wright expanded the brief into a plan for Baghdad complete with museums, parks, university and authentic bazaar. Dispensing with his "prairie style," he peppered the scheme with domes, spires and ziggurats.
The 1958 revolution meant that none of it was built. But the ever-resourceful Wright simply offered the design to a new client. And today, the Baghdad opera house is the Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium at Arizona State University: an example of Wright's versatility and the forum for next week's presidential debate. Under the arches of a lost Iraqi skyline, George W Bush and John Kerry will meet in debate for the final time."

I love it! Somebody should type this out on a 3x5 card and put it in the breast pocket of JfK's suit so when he pulls out his cheat sheet just before the debate tomorrow night, he'll have something really interesting to read
