...Dallas. After a whirlwind courtship, they married, and she moved in with him in Taos. But they quickly encountered difficulties, primarily over money. Within six months, the marriage was kaput. "People change," says Schwartz. "Experiences change them, and they wind up with emotional baggage and history. In the glow of a renewed love and its feelings of comfort and familiarity, the couple may ignore this...

In the morning the light slaloms up and down the bright diagonals. At twilight those same lines glow. And because the diagrid divides the building into four-story segments, it provides a human scale that an unbroken glass-curtain wall would not. Who cares that it tiptoes right up to the edge of gaudy? Given the mediocrity of so much that has been crammed into the Manhattan skyline...
