...ENGLAND Lawrence's brick cottage at Clouds Hill in Wareham, 14 km east of Dorchester, is now under the care of the National Trust (tel: [44-1929] 405616; www.nationaltrust.org.uk). The rooms are much as he left them before his sudden death, including his gramophone and re-created record collection. The charity is working to restock the library with his original books, too. And if you see a ghostly apparition dressed in Arab robes, legend has it that it's the swashbuckler himself...
First, mirrors: “We are experimenting with fragments of mirrors on tree trunks,” Duehr proclaimed, adding that he and the Public Art team hope the mirror fragments will offer a sense of glistening magic to the now seemingly mundane green and red-brick acres of Harvard’s Old Yard.

Homes in the three-year-old BedZED development, for instance, are south facing and fronted by conservatories to capture natural heat and light. There's no need for central heating because thick brick walls are heavily insulated, and windows are double- and triple-glazed, helping to retain the heat produced by domestic activities such as cooking. As a result, fuel bills can be as little as 10% of those for traditional houses of similar size. Lighting is low energy, too, and water-saving washing machines and low-flush toilets...

A small television set, broadcasting static, sits at the front right of the stage, and a small table and serving tray, at the stage’s rear left, comprise all of the play’s major props...
...expanded my horizons, or at least stretched them further along the Northeast corridor. I’ve learned to navigate an entirely new and un-grid-like city, adjusted to life without round-the-clock pizza delivery, and come to appreciate the charm of Boston’s brick-laden, cobbled-street neighborhoods. Despite the grudging fondness I’ve developed for Beantown, when senior job panic rolled around, I spent my fall submitting applications, racking up frequent flier miles, and assuming this July would see me safely back in the City, where I belonged...
