...story began last winter, when Gemini Office Development LLC applied to build a 22,000-square-foot clinic on land zoned for medical use. The design's details included surgical rooms and various security features, such as bullet-proof glass. Construction proceeded.

...When I touched down aboard Air Force One with President Bush Tuesday for a 90-minute refueling stop en route from Iraq to Australia, Diego Garcia's esthetic impact was underwhelming: Think early-'70s industrial park for the architecture, and public elementary school for the interior design. But as a 1,700-man springboard for the projection of military might to the far reaches of the world, it rivals anything 18th century Britain or Augustinian Rome ever came up with...
