That was the future

Is the city of today what you imagined it would be? I note with disappointment that today’s houses don’t feature underground swimming pools, escalators and zoos, as I so confidently predicted in my quasi-Futurist period (age 8, Mrs Winter’s class).
City of Tomorrow tells me I’m not the only one. Many links to many pictures.
Also through Boing Boing, the article by George Bush Sr and Brent Scowcroft on ‘Why We Didn’t Remove Saddam’ published in Time magazine in 1998, but mysteriously unavailable in magazine’s archive at present.
