'The things that he chose tend be crowd-pleasers,' said Matthew Postal, a researcher with the Landmarks Preservation Commission. 'In a city where so much changes, there is a tendency, especially with institutions, to protect the crowd-pleasers.'" Yet, ironically, Holden himself remained impossible to please.
