...collaborated on an ice sculpture with Kapoor or because he considers igloos a useful source of ideas for home design. But his architectural thinking is resolutely outside the box. As he once remarked, "There is nothing to say that every house has to have eight corners." There don't appear to be any at all in the country house in Wales that his firm designed for a Labour Member of Parliament. On its seaward-facing side, it consists of just an elliptical wall of floor-to-ceiling windows that are wedged directly into the land like the filling...
...public meeting with undergraduates since she was named president-elect, Drew G. Faust pledged last night to reexamine Harvard’s academic calendar and consider ways of improving interaction between students and professors.For most of the 70-minute meeting with the Undergraduate Council, however, Faust nodded frequently and appeared to absorb the concerns of the elected representatives of Harvard’s roughly 6,500 undergraduates.

Shi'ite militias in the capital appear to be standing down and not challenging U.S. and Iraqi forces as they attempt to quell the bombings and bloodshed that have gripped the city for the past year. That leaves insurgent Sunnis as the main target of the effort. "In effect," Cordesman says, "both the U.K. and the U.S. may end up acting to expand Shi'ite influence in very different ways." That...
...given the early start to the race and so many "rock star candidates." I don't remember seeing this much excitement, especially among the Democrats, especially at the huge Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama rallies. I wonder if Iowans will grow weary, especially as the rock stars need to appear in coliseums and convention halls to meet the early, popular demand. But as the campaigning goes on and on and on, how many rallies for how many candidates can an ordinary Iowan enthusiastically attend? The people at Obama's recent town hall in Des Moines already seemed far less pumped...
