quote [ Haskell was no fan of Googie and wrote a scathing (by architecture critic standards) satire of the style in the February 1952 issue of House and Home magazine. The New York-based Haskell wrote part of his article, ?Googie Architecture,? in the voice of a fictional Professor Thrugg, whose over-the-top praise was an indictment of Googie?s popular appeal. Haskell was an advocate of modernism, but a modernism constrained by his ideas of taste and refinement. ]
