True to its name, the steel structure, encased in a groundbreaking design of reinforced fiber-glass panels, is anchored to an elliptical ring. Only a skylight and spiral staircase penetrate the minimalist building's center. For this home, Endoh's brief was disarmingly simple. The client "wanted to have a big area" to live in, wrapped in a space eye-catching enough for it to make its mark on the psyche of Japan's architectural cognoscenti...
Preparing for court is an exercise in vigilance and anxiety. Meeting with clients requires navigating a complicated process of permissions, searches and U.S.-imposed time restrictions with defendants. Al-Zubaidi and a colleague of his who survived the shooting, Thamer al-Khuzaie, described in detail a Nov. 6 visit to consult with a client at U.S-administered Camp Cropper.

Refco declined to comment. Badian didn't come to the door when a TIME reporter rang...
...pardon loyalists who ran afoul of the law while doing political battle. Meanwhile, Bush's appetite for pardons is growing: after granting none in 2001 and 2002, he approved four in 2003, 22 in 2004 and 29 this year. And Libby, a lawyer, knows the ropes. He called his client, fugitive financier Marc Rich, in January 2001 to congratulate him on a beat-the-clock pardon from Bill Clinton...
