...Stern has designed its fine new library. Such happy assimilation: the $9 million structure, which fits into and improves a campus blessed with distinguished buildings, is among Stern's best work. It is Richardsonian (the arches, the churchlike massing) but not slavishly old-fashioned, and the jaunty bits (the eyebrow dormers and the tower) mitigate any neo-Victorian lugubriousness...
Meanwhile, the stampede of account switching has put a premium on the industry's creative talent. Gordon Bowen, a top creative executive at Ogilvy & Mather, hardly raised an eyebrow last week when six dozen roses were delivered to him as he ate breakfast in a Manhattan restaurant. Rival agency McCann-Erickson sent the bouquet as part of its campaign to persuade him to switch shops. As the principal executive on the restless American Express account, Bowen conceivably could leave home with the business. If that were to happen, $300 worth of roses would go down in advertising history...
...meet the needs of today's disabled population. "We used to look at people who were disabled as shut-ins," she says. "Not anymore. Computers, new materials and new attitudes have revolutionized our industry. If you can move one muscle in your body, wiggle a pinkie or twitch an eyebrow, we can design a switch to allow you to operate in your environment...
Schwarzkopf reeled off impressive figures last week: 33 of 36 bridges hit on the supply lines between Iraq and Kuwait; truck traffic on the main Baghdad- to-Kuwait City road reduced to 10% of normal. But one or two of his claims might raise a skeptical eyebrow.

Again, Schwarzkopf's estimate that the quantity of supplies reaching the Iraqi troops in Kuwait...
...reader knows not to raise a skeptical eyebrow when Arnold says something is going to happen. At the time, though, it was as hard to imagine him fitting into mainstream films as it would be to fit his wonderfully preposterous name on a movie marquee. Even after he scored a worldwide hit in his first starring role, as a primeval pillager in Conan the Barbarian, he was still seen as a fluke or a freak. Could this slab of sirloin beefcake act? It hardly mattered. He could fill the film frame superbly. He was also lucky. With the box-office...
