...journey toward God's light. In this case the soul turns right at the end of its journey to enter at last into the high-ceilinged, sunlit nave of the church; when it arrives there, all misgivings drop to the ground. Moneo is a master of interior spaces, an expert at setting traps for sunlight. An addition he designed a few years ago for the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston contains some of the most satisfying gallery spaces in the U.S.--a succession of rooms lighted gently from above by light boxes that thrust up from the museum...
...board members, serving at Rumsfeld's pleasure, are like a choir preaching to the pastor. The board "is just another p.r. shop for Rumsfeld," says Michael O'Hanlon, a defense expert with the Brookings Institution. "It gives his ideas more currency." O'Hanlon admits, though, that he would "jump at the chance" to serve on it for the access to the nation's top Defense officials. But Lawrence Korb, a Reagan-era Pentagon official, thinks the board is "a net loss for the Administration because many people think it represents the Administration's views...
...already won over a big-time convert by the name of Bill Ford. When the chairman of Ford Motor Co. decided to rebuild the company's historic River Rouge complex, destroyed by an explosion in 1999, he hired McDonough, who is based in Charlottesville, Va., as a sustainability expert to help make the new plant outside Detroit as environmentally friendly as possible.

...Social Democratic Party member, Scheer, 58, began as a disarmament expert and became convinced of the need for nonfossil alternatives to potentially dangerous nuclear energy. In 1991 he sponsored legislation opening Germany's grid to renewable-energy producers and setting a generous fixed price for their power. Today a third of the earth's wind energy is produced on German soil. In 2000 another Scheer-sponsored law increased the price for solar energy and launched the installation of 100,000 solar panels on homes and businesses. In June he orchestrated a law eliminating taxes on bio-fuels, such as gasoline...
...Rosetta Stone and Enigma, the machine used by the Nazis to encode messages during World War II. "It's amazing that a phone book should offer important insights into the nature of any government on the face of the earth today," says Nicholas Eberstadt, a North Korea expert at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington D.C. "But that tells you how successfully the North Korean leadership has suppressed information that might allow outsiders to draw an independent assessment of it." Kim Choong Nam, a North Korea specialist at the East-West Center, a think tank in Hawaii, agrees: "This phone...
