"It was 1948 and all Frank Lloyd Wright wanted was to bury the power lines that would span Taliesin West, the architecture center he had built in north Scottsdale a decade earlier...The power company refused to go underground, and the famed architect fumed. Wright went to local authorities and then went higher."
