I agree with your assessment of the Ian Frazier piece - but! - don't miss out on this: "Then, on the left, The Andrew Freedman Home takes up a block behind its iron gates and seldom mowed grounds. It was built originally as a home for indigent millionaires, offering them amenities that they had been accustomed to before they lost their fortunes. Freedman, the founder of the home and provider of the funds, promised that it would welcome people of all races, religions, and ethnicities, as long as they had at one time been wealthy." WHAT?????? So who is going to write the novel that must be written about this? Maybe the movie, too?
