...galleries are the best part of the museum, as they ought to be. Botta has done them with impeccable taste and has resisted the temptation to make them depend on artificial light. Because the blocks of the museum mass are stepped back, each floor gets its share of filtered daylight through the roof, and the detailing of these skylights recalls the great prototype of Louis Kahn's Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, still the most beautiful art-display building erected in postwar America.

...little Saturday-morning self-reliance is all well and good. But in many cases Americans are acting out of long-term necessity, unable to depend on a lifelong job or the pension that accompanies it.

If the Australians won in 1983 -- the first and only time a challenger has wrested away the Cup -- it was mostly because of their newfangled keels flanked by little wings to diminish underwater drag. If Koch, a multimillionaire with a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from M.I.T., trounced four-time winner Conner and the Italian finalist, Gardini, in the last Cup, it was because he built four boats only to settle on the one with the sleekest hull, stiffest mast and lightest sails made...
