Speaking of family traditions . . .

Jon sent me this link with the comment "the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?". I find it amusing that Albert Speer, son of Nazi architect Albert Speer, has been deeply involved in the design of the Beijing Olympics.

I guess he was able to just dust off his dad's old designs from the 1936 Olympics, scrape off the swastikas, add a few distinctive Chinese motifs and hey, presto!
