Book excerpt: "On the evening of May 16, 1958, architecture alumni of the University of Washington converged on Seattle from all over the country for a banquet celebrating the new College of Architecture and Urban Planning. When the dean introduced faculty member Lionel "Spike" Pries, ... 'Everyone rose and cheered and clapped; it appeared to go on forever.' But within six months, Lionel Pries was abruptly and mysteriously gone from the university.
