      We pass through Rockefeller Center and along the way discuss the fascinating, inordinate history, incuding: Columbia University, holdouts, Alexander Hamilton, Diego Rivera, radio and televison, the Rockefellers themselves , the architectural genius of Raymod Hood, and an incredible array of art. One key to understanding the hisotry of Modern architecture is in Rockefeller Center's program of art, not ornament, in its architecture (thoguh we'll see where John. D. Rockefeller Jr. won out over his architects and got a bit of ornament in his buildings)
