...University of Nairobi campus provided an outdoor bulletin board for the world's causes and conflicts. A Japanese peace group displayed life-size photographs of atom-bomb victims. The Pan Africanist Congress, a black South African liberation group, tacked up a banner showing a female guerrilla fighter. Free-form discussions of war and peace went on all day in three large blue-and-white-striped tents, known collectively as the Peace Tent. There all the gathering's anxious, angry or exhausted vented their hopes and fears. Over and over, women spoke in sweeping terms of the absurdity of the arms...
...Ball, who lived in Zurich at the time, opened a caf?-cum-theater called Cabaret Voltaire, where Tzara, Hans Arp and other nonconformist artists gathered.

Diners here can expect a free-form improvisation of flavors and textures, where the inspiration is just as likely to be Asian or Mediterranean as it is Gallic. The menu is also flexible: instead of sticking to a starter, main course and dessert, diners can tailor a meal from long lists of ingredients, accompaniments and sauces...
...make a place where both Shostokovich and Shrek could feel at home. Disney, who had Leopold Stokowski shake hands on camera with Mickey Mouse, loved classical music, but he loved the public, too. Gehry's design thoroughly digests the Western architectural vocabulary without quoting literally from it. The free-form silhouette is just right for a concert hall in multimultiethnic Los Angeles, a city that doesn't look to Europe for much beyond designer shoes...
