MIRACLE MILE: Whither Michael Govan? LACMA's director, fresh off the opening of BCAM and a major land acquisition, might be the heir apparent to the Guggenheim Museum.

Let's hope that if he does go, he makes good on his promise to acquire some neglected Neutras and Schindlers before he packs up his Lautner-designed office.
