...structure (cost: $3,500,000) is indeed a dramatic addition to Syracuse's downtown Community Plaza. Its four main galleries loom theatrically over the concrete-paved concourse. Inside, visitors pass through a spacious 35-ft.-high central court, then climb to the galleries on a swirling, circular stairway. They can promenade from one gallery to the next without descending, thanks to glass-curtained, connecting bridges that overlook both court and outdoor plaza.

When Russian security officers started arriving in Prague to round up well-known liberals, residents daubed their house numbers with paint and switched virtually every street marker...

Its interior balconies rise 22 stories around a glass-roofed central atrium, served by glass-enclosed high-speed elevators. Now, a 200-room, 25-story circular glass addition is under construction. Hyatt has also scheduled new hotels for Monterey, San Francisco and Chicago, and last month announced plans to expand into the Caribbean and Mexico...
