...those who live there, Bridgeport is a close-knit working-class neighborhood redolent of the 1950s. Plaster madonnas adorn people's front lawns, plastic Easter bunnies perch in picture windows at this time of year, and on Sundays families attend Mass at the Irish, Italian and Croatian churches where their grandparents were married. Bridgeport is a place where one can still see precinct captains and aldermen of the 11th Ward drinking at Schaller's Pump, and where sauerkraut soup is still served at a diner not far from the home of Chicago's legendary Boss, Richard J.

It's called Fred and Ginger, after its twin towers: one flirty and curvilinear, the other solid and upright. The staggered windows and rippled riverfront facade reflect the adjacent row houses even as the building stands apart from the rest of the city. Using some local construction techniques combined with sophisticated three-dimensional computer modeling, the two architects maintained consistency with the surrounding buildings...
...national election would also push back the withdrawal of American troops in Bosnia. To Clinton and Christopher, the integrity of the entire Dayton Accord is at stake, and the U.S. has worked to ensure that other provisions are observed. Clinton himself pushed hard for a resolution of a Croatian boycott of the Mostar city council, who wanted the election declared improper after Muslims candidates won a majority.
