...capped the swooping roof with layers of discarded highway signs. "We try to be innovative, economical and appropriate as possible, reusing materials that otherwise will be discarded," says Mockbee. The result can be surprisingly pleasing to the eye. The Bryants' smokehouse, for example, conjures up Le Corbusier's seminal chapel in Ronchamp, France. The Bryant home and smokehouse, however, cost less than $17,000, and Mockbee gave both to the couple free. "The students that work with Mockbee get an experience of architecture at the level of the soul," says Jeffrey Kipnis, curator of architecture and design at the Wexner...
This week, in nearby Coeur d'Alene, Butler will be in court facing a civil suit that could cost him his most prized asset: the 20-acre compound where he has lived since 1972, providing a haven for the nation's racist misfits. Featuring a chapel, bunkhouses, gun tower and stage, the $238,000 spread serves as headquarters for Butler's activities, which include a direct-mail operation and a website.

It was an appalling thing to say, Barbara Bush later noted, especially to a freshman, who would hardly be likely to darken the chapel doors after an encounter like that. But that was not the last time W. found himself defending his father in a climate in which pro-Vietnam Nixon men were not exactly popular...
...CargoLifter project, by contrast, started when logistics expert Carl von Gablenz had an epiphany a few years back in North Carolina, where he was a visiting professor of logistics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was waiting for a lumbering freight train to cross the road in front of him when the tedium caused him to start thinking about ways to float heavy machinery over land. He began hitting up German logistics companies for capital to build something to do just that. "Using conventional means, it takes about 60 days and costs about...
