...openly incite the whole population to kill publicly. Before, people were killed secretly and individually, but this happened openly. After that night, the whole world knew it would not get better at all, and Jews knew only a dark future. It was called the "Night of Broken Glass," but it was more than that. You can clean up glass, but you cannot do that with people...
Mazzoleni is one to know; the game-winning goal in the Big Red’s 4-3 February triumph at Bright was set up when Bâby bounced off the boards, leaving his man behind him on the glass, and put the puck sharply on net to set up linemate Ryan Vesce’s game-winner...

Because of full-height clear glass walls, the cantilevered concrete floor slabs of the Design Research building appear to float, almost hanging in mid air. Designed by Benjamin Thompson (known for pioneering the concept of adaptive reuse with such projects as Fanueil Hall in Boston and South Street Seaport in New York), the building will...
