...suddenly flush clerks and secretaries, not to mention the even flusher bankers, at Wall Street powerhouse Goldman Sachs Group won't be convinced. But their company's smashing $3.7 billion initial public stock offering last week--spreading wealth up and down the ladder--was less noteworthy than a handful of Internet IPOs that flopped. Say what? Yes, flopped. Shares of online map company Mapquest and online advertising company Flycast failed to double in a day--a stiff bogey but one that Internet companies have been hitting all year. Meanwhile, online real estate company Comps.com actually fell...
...Michael Dukakis's old running mate had Rubin's job from 1992 to 1995 while Rubin headed President Clinton's newly created National Economic Council in the White House.

Terazzo is well adapted to Goldman's design. Terazzo is a concrete or epoxy liquid which serves as a base for colored marble or glass chips. She represents interesting wave effects with swirls of off-white chips that capture the foam and mobility of a breaking wave. She creates the animals by molding wire into outlines, placing them at the site and then pouring in different colors...
...Goldman is most successful when she uses multiple shades of terrazzo to enliven her animals. One of the finest parts of the walkway is a school of fish, where she combines her interest in the rest of the structure, color and water effects and manipulation of scale. At a break in the automated walkway, she has a school of fish emerging as if from a cave, growing larger as they move away while turquoise currents of water swirl around them...
