...everything Piano touches turns out as nicely. In pre-construction models, his New York Times headquarters looked delicate almost to the point of evanescent--quite a trick for a Manhattan skyscraper. But in the execution, the ceramic rods Piano devised to screen the glass walls are bulky, and the battleship gray exterior looks anything but weightless...

...sliding form. From a 19th century photograph by Eadweard Muybridge he could take the squatting silhouette of a man and dissolve it within the outlines of a crouching boy attributed to Michelangelo. He could borrow the eyeglasses from a famous shot of a screaming nurse in Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin and perch them on a Pope's nose. In the same way, the meaning of his screaming Pontiff in Head VI fluctuates. Trapped in a kind of isolation booth, where a thunderstorm of granular black strokes rains down on him, this Pope suggests the baying, baboon madness of authority...

When the militants regrouped in the south, the U.S. saw its chance and launched two separate air strikes, followed by another strike from a U.S. battleship in the north of the country in June. Whom and how many the U.S. attacks killed has remained uncertain, as is the toll from Monday's attack. What is known is that at least one of the three 1998 bombers - explosives designer Tariq Abdullah, a.k.a. Abu Taha al-Sudani...

...which told me so much. Namely, that Romney, like me, is not a man who enjoys foreplay. And he spent some real time on the "interests" section. I know the bands he likes (all cool except the Kingston Trio), his favorite books (Thomas Friedman! Huck Finn! No mention of Battleship Earth!). One of the groups he's involved in is National Campaign for Turn Signal Enforcement. I totally hate it when people don't signal...
