He vents brutal answers to imaginary questions so he can be more diplomatic on the Hill. He's vigilant about the stagecraft of statecraft, even taking his own messy handwritten notes to meetings so his preparation...
...exhibition, which runs through June 13, is a truly multimedia affair. Designed by Wanders himself, it features light, video and art installations - all anchored around a clutch of seminal Wanders furniture. "This is like nothing we've ever done before in America," explains Wanders, who received the coveted Design Excellence Award from local Philadelphia collective Collab at the show's opening (previous winners include Frank Gehry and Georg Jensen).
