...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.

...necessary to navigate its difficult road schedule. The senior six, which included co-captains Lauren Snyder and Vivian Liao, along with Cassandra Forsyth, Melissa McCreery, Melissa Mueller, and Laura Stoppel, certainly didn’t disappoint.

Despite finishing in the same position as last year, the Crimson was not selected for an at-large bid to the Eastern Championships as it was in 2007.Regardless of the unfortunate ending...
...Qaeda commanders responsible for the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. The bombers had been suspected of sheltering with the ICU. 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...
