Arrogance
Walking past Judson Church I saw this notice.
Actually, arrogance is a symptom also. Imperialism is the disease. Walking further on the block, (4th Street at Washington Square) I looked in the NYU "student" center. 
The arrogance of this architecture is matched only by the plans of NYU to "redesign" Washington Square Park. These steps remind me of the Iranian Pavilion in the 1964 World's Fair. The entire pavillion was a set of marble stairs. At the top were two easels with portraits of the Shah and his wife.
