...volumes. By that means you could divide a single building into an ensemble of varying forms. So Kahn put slender brick stairway towers up the sides of his 1961 Richards Medical Research Building in Philadelphia, where from some angles they give the illusion of free-standing sentinels beside the glass-and-brick towers that hold the laboratories. At Rogers'Lloyd headquarters those externalized stairways reappear, this time wrapped in coiling steel. In later Rogers buildings they appear again, and to finer effect, enclosed all in glass...
Dornan is gone from the House. And The Dinner Party is handsomely installed at its new home in Brooklyn in a darkened triangular enclosure with reflective glass-lined walls. Designed by Susan T.

Though his victim wound up hospitalized, the details of the attack remain hazy; interim House Masters Lee and Deb Gehrke, in an email to Quincy residents, wrote enigmatically that, “the full details of the incident are not known, and may never be completely known...
Indeed, if there is one characteristic that distinguishes Poles, whether they are wielding a wrench or a stethoscope, it's a capacity for work--at least, that's what many employers say. Jarek Czernek, the general manager of Aluglass Ireland, a business that installs glass siding, says the 100 fellow countrymen he employs "are work oriented. They want to work a lot. They will work whenever you ask them...
