Which brings us back to the Olympic Sculpture Park. With its clever switchback paths, the Weiss/Manfredi design capitalizes on the park's magnificent views by constantly bringing you back around to them in different ways. All the while it draws those views into a complex fabric of references to the city. So by narrowing and widening the routes, for instance, the designers create false perspectives that recall airport landing paths, an illusion they've underlined along one stretch with a string of low-rise "runway" lights. This is a park that doesn't try to separate nature and civilization. What...
...Guard Corp is arming and training Iraqis to kill Americans. The IRGC has been killing Americans for almost three decades. It has been operating freely in Iraq since the first Gulf War in 1990. And that's the problem - the IRGC is now so deeply woven into the Iraqi fabric that there's nothing we can do about it - short of invading Iran...

To her, it's just one more skill to learn and have fun with. MARIE T. GASS Clackamas...
Polonium 210 has some prosaic applications; it is used, for example, in antistatic devices found in photo shops and fabric mills. It would be very difficult, but for less than $1,000, just a few such gizmos could theoretically be disassembled and the contents reworked in a laboratory to produce a lethal dose. To be usable as a poison, Michael Clark, a spokesman for Britain's Health Protection Agency, said last week, the polonium would then have to be mixed in solution, probably with a gelling agent. "If it was some sort of liquid, it could have been...
