Abstract: '...As you read the following papers by the Fellows of the Dallas Institute, I suggest that you engage in a bold act: allow yourself to see through the present conditions in the centers of our urban cities; take the risk of seeing with a new and inspired perspective--one that imagines the center city as once again vibrant and whole, alive with life, with people, festivity, song, dance, food, gaiety, ritual, and celebration....Perhaps when the hoof of Pegasus hits the ground, there will come a wellspring, and the Muses will appear....' --Editor's preface
