...your comment that speed skating is an obscure sport and "Heiden, the greatest speed skater in history-and an American-has flashed through without leaving a trace." Eric Heiden chose to excel in a sport that demands grace and strength, instead of one like hockey, which can be brutal and violent. I am proud that my children chose to emulate...
Some of the buildings were ego trips that overpowered the art they were to shelter and display, among them Frank Lloyd Wright's dizzying Guggenheim Museum (1959) and Marcel Breuer's brutal Whitney Museum of American Art (1966), both in New York City. Philip Johnson's Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln (1963) returned to a somewhat saccharine classicism.

Turkish immigrants regularly receive threatening letters telling them to leave Germany or be hounded out. An outfit calling itself the Prince Eugen Battle Group (named for a brutal Austrian field marshal who led a major assault against the Turks in the late 17th century) has set its sights on Turkish teachers in West Berlin schools. "Can't you understand we [Germans] don't want anything to do with you," says one of their milder letters. "Pack...
