...perfume. Called Rotterdam--O.K., these guys have no future in retail--it was produced in a tiny edition of just 1,000 bottles to accompany a museum show of their work in that Dutch city last year. Herzog, the more talkative of the pair, is quick to explain that the fragrance was not an attempt to go head to head with J. Lo. They just wanted to make a theoretical point. "We very strongly insist on architecture's potential to reach all the senses," he says, "not just the visual. At a time of digital media and cyberspace, architecture...

She had never been to school, and valued education. She had in mind a dignified profession for me. I had to sit down and explain to her why I was in the A.N.C. She became so convinced that later she said to me, ''If you don't join other children and fight for our liberation, I am going to disinherit you.'' DE KLERK: My brother was a very liberal editor of a daily newspaper...
