...which correctly saw that mass production was destroying handcraft and, with it, ornament, was always colored by this millenarian fantasy. Johnson, whose relationship to Mies van der Rohe is complicated and Oedipal, argues that "Mies believed in the ultimate truth of architecture, especially of his architecture: that it was closer to the truth than anyone else's because it was simpler and could be learned. He felt it could be adapted on and on into the centuries, until architecture bloomed into the great science he thought it should be, and all our cities would look like a series of Mies...
...achieving a triple crown in foreign policy: he established normal relations with mainland China and seemed to have a breakthrough on strategic arms limitations with the Soviet Union. But he failed to get Egypt and Israel to sign a peace pact, even though he had, almost singlehanded, brought them closer to peace at the Camp David summit than they had been in 30 years.

His first training camp, held at Junction, Texas, was closer to Stalag 17 than a gathering of young athletes. Two busloads, 115 players on football scholarships, went to Junction. When it was over, 27 men remained on the roster. The surviving Aggies won a single game that year, the only losing season in Bryant's 34-year career...
...detect from earth. Still, if Einstein were right, the energy drawn from the orbiting bodies by those waves would cause a predictable effect: the two bodies, which spin around each other about once every eight hours at a velocity of 1.06 million k.p.h. (660,000 m.p.h.), would move ever closer, causing a shortening in their orbital period. The loss, to be sure, would be infinitesimal: only one ten-thousandth of a second per year, as determined from the pulses picked up by the Arecibo...
...hoopsters played consistent basketball throughout the game and the outcome was never really in doubt from the start. The Crimson five led by as much as 44-31 in the first half, and Springfield never came closer than seven points in the second half...
