Boettcher Hall is typical of the Denver spirit. Part of the exterior walls is also glass, but there is nothing lyrical about them. They reveal a lobby that flaunts not marble or chrome but the building's functional and mechanical workings. On opening night, concertgoers could be heard arranging "to meet up at the duct" at intermission. A few thought they had come in the wrong way and wandered backstage...
Whether the gaunt, peculiarly nandsome Toffler is a moral paragon, or whether he simply likes the travel and excitement of the lecture circuit is debatable. Rarely are a person's real motives ever known. But whatever lies beneath the exterior, Toffler comes across as sincere, perspicacious, dedicated, and above all, convincing.

Mortified French officials rushed the vehicle back to its manufacturer, where assemblymen worked frantically on reupholstery (brown) and a new paint job (blue...
Brinkley, the protagonist in Robert Mayer's comical novel Superfolks, was sinking into complacent and oh-so-comfortable middle class, middle age life on Swansdown Island, a "suburban pocked" retreat outside New York. Beneath his happily married, proud-daddy exterior, he was helplessly wondering why his superpowers were inexplicably vanishing...
