...numbers of priestly ordinations in the U.S.; they're also a magnet for new clergy from the North. The current generation of U.S. Catholic seminarians, weaned on the strict dogma of Pope John Paul II, is more conservative than its predecessors who came of age in the 1960s and '70s in the wake of Vatican II. Many, like the new parochial vicar at St. Mark, the Rev. Timothy Reid, 34, an Indiana native, are drawn to the more orthodox spirit they see in Southern pews. Says Reid: "Here it's more vibrant because we're creating a Catholic culture almost...
...essays, not his memoirs, that testify to the tenacity and talent that allowed this blind man from an impoverished country to sidestep his bad luck, take full advantage of his good luck, and turn himself into one of the world's best-known journalists of the 1960s and '70s...
...career arc of the Deconstructivists is instructive. When their drawings and early projects first appeared in the late '70s and the '80s, angular, skewed, irregular in every way, they seemed the purest fantasy.

Koolhaas, Libeskind and others like them have tied the old architectural forms in knots, yet they build around the world. You're reminded of that again in the show's final galleries, which are devoted to recent work?some built, some merely theoretical?by contemporary visionaries like Shigeru Ban and Jun Aoki...
...There are some puzzling omissions in this exhibition. Where is Buckminster Fuller? Or the modular housing of Moshe Safdie?

An actual building with a plain debt to The Walking City was even completed last year in Toronto: Will Alsop's Ontario College of Art and Design is a massive tabletop of classrooms...
...higher-tech options allow for finer control and produce less smoke. But the lower-tech choices create a sort of DIY pride among enthusiasts and can be tweaked for more control. Home-roasting guru Jim Schulman, who conducts his own coffee-tasting sessions in Chicago, uses a '70s-era popcorn popper that he has modified extensively with a blueprint he got online from some fellow roasters who happened to be engineers...
