...undulating rhythm of this unmistakable Boston landmark is nothing short of hypnotic. Something of an Eiffel Tower of the Northeast--and of course a beacon for drunken B.U. students after a night of clubbing--this Bostonian piece of Americana pie is served up nightly, proudly flashing its red, white and blue patterns over a city obsessed with historic references...

At 650 ft.--a height that will require passage of a special law in parliament--it would command stunning vistas comparable to those of the Eiffel and Montparnasse. Meanwhile, the Pompidou Center, with one of the biggest collections of 20th century paintings, is scheduled to reopen its doors at midnight Jan. 1, 2000, after being partly closed since...
