Last weekend featured some better than average, though not awe-inspiring meals, an outdoor concert, and some cartoons in the courtyard.

For the most part, however, reaction was encouraging and many people took advantage of the offerings...
NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE'S Rappaccini's Daughter, from which Rappaccini was adapted, pushes the American black romance to its limits. A young man entering college takes a room opening onto a courtyard garden. One day he sees an extraordinarily beautiful girl walking among the exotic flowers, and approaches her.

Those who expected to find the building's interior gloomy and intimidating have been surprised by its airy openness. It is bathed in natural light, which pours down a central courtyard and through wide light shafts rising the full height of the nine-story building. It is extraordinarily accessible, with a subway station nearby and even has a concourse running through its ground floor. "It is the nexus of a lot of pedestrian routes in the city," says Architect Noel McKinnell, whose...
