Carol S. Chiles, who is with the architectural firm in charge of design, Tsoi-Kobus and Associates, presented detailed drawings and models showing the new arrangement of Grendel's and Tweeter Etc. at the meeting, which lasted more than five hours...
With a presidential campaign in full swing, the American flag may be the most pervasive symbol of the season. As a work of graphic design, it may also be the most taken for granted.

Your story on how American consultants helped Boris Yeltsin design his re-election strategy will leave the Russian people feeling duped and betrayed, further alienating them from Yeltsin without gaining any Brownie points for the U.S. Imagine that the tables are turned: Bill Clinton wins the election in November, and Pravda prints a major story on how a bunch of Russians sitting in a hotel room in Washington drank vodka...
