...options, according to a military officer working on U.S. war plans. One, he could hunker down in some well-stocked hideout and wait it out. Two, he could make a run for it. One possible avenue of escape is the system of intricate tunnels that U.S. officials believe lie beneath Baghdad. Three, Saddam could choose the Samson option, the most frightening of all: once he realized he was finished, he could try to take with him as many enemies as possible.

...statue in Baghdad Wednesday symbolized the collapse of his regime as U.S. troops took control the capital's streets to a jubilant welcome. Iraqis cheered and waved, denouncing Saddam and, in many cases, praising President George Bush. When a group of Iraqis took a sledgehammer to the giant plinth beneath a Saddam statue opposite the international press headquarters at the Palestine Hotel, journalists and TV anchors everywhere couldn't resist making the comparison with the tearing down of the Berlin Wall in 1989.

...marked facet of Le Corbusier’s design is the use of concrete pilotis to elevate the building above the ground. The pilotis allow the landscape to extend beneath the building; they also interact with the landscape directly. When a site plan was being drawn up, Le Corbusier asked that all the tree locations be marked with a high level of precision. In the final design, he aligned some of the pilotis with the existing trees. The best example of this can be found near the entrance to main gallery and film archive. Looking back toward the faculty club...
