...neoclassical architecture of the original." The new wing was never intended to bear the bold signature of a Pei pyramid or a Gehry curve; it manages instead to be quietly beautiful. An exquisitely crafted foyer of cedar, textured granite and brushed bronze is lined on one side with floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the brick rear of the original museum. Galleries start underground and work their way up around the broad shaft of natural light that streams through Moneo's glass lantern. At the top comes the delicious surprise: a gorgeously restored Baroque cloister - dismantled from the neighboring...

That fall, Wood and Rossel enjoyed a blissful courtship, often taking short breaks from work together in the Peabody Museum, where both had offices on the second floor.“She would send me messages telling me to meet her in different parts of the museum,” Wood said. “So I would go find the exhibit she mentioned, and we’d kiss.”Wood and Rossel maintained their relationship when...

He would have to work harder to hold border states like Tennessee (11) and Missouri (11) than Bush did against Kerry and could hardly take Arkansas (11) for granted, assuming Clinton parks her husband there for a few days in October (that prospect alone is reason for keeping an eye on Mike Huckabee in the G.O.P. veepstakes). Meanwhile, Iowa (7) and New Mexico...
