Harry Simmons is quite a character. We occasionally meet in Washington, D.C., at the sessions of an advisory committee put together by the National Research Council’s Building Research Board. Harry’s interventions never fail to add spice to the committee’s work. The last time we met, Harry told us a wonderful story about AT&T’s Golden Boy. Before it was moved to the lobby of the new headquarters in New York City—designed by Philip Johnson, John Burgee, and Harry Simmons—the statue had been perched on top of the Behemoth’s old headquarters. Having been created in 1930s, and having been unavailable for detailed public scrutiny ever since that time, Golden Boy turned out to be endowed with embarrassingly lavish genitals. After considerable vexation about this predicament, the poor statue was corrected. The gold-plated penis was summarily removed. We all laughed in amazement. George Hartman, another architect and committee member, told us that this was rather common in Washington, D.C., where his design office is located. In recent years, many a statue has been similarly improved.
