Another NYT error: It's Daniel Hudson BURNHAM, not BURHAM. I have told this to the New York Times. But again, this involves a dead person. You can spell his name any way you want, or write that he said or did anything without fear of being sued. So why issue a correction if it's wrong?
From FAMILIAR QUOTATIONS by John Bartlett, 16th edition, pg. 555, col. 1:
_Daniel Hudson Burnham_
1846-1912
Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood. _Attributed_*
*This quotation is now doubted. See HENRY M. SAYLOR, "'Make No Little Plans': Daniel Burnham Thought It but Did He Say It?," _Journal of the American Institute of Architects_, 27 (1957): 3.
