...Francisco Graphic Designer Michael Vanderbyl looks to Europe for inspirational rigor. The checkerboard fields and two-tone corded trim of Vanderbyl's bed linens for Esprit recall Josef Hoffmann. The palette (peach, delft, ash) is sober and cool, Wiener Werkstatte monochrome given a pastel California ruddiness. Vanderbyl sheets would go nicely in a Christopher Alexander house. Alexander, a Berkeley architect and urban theorist, has lately turned his militantly humanist attentions to office furniture. No workstations or open plans for him. Instead, Alexander and his colleagues have designed mass-production desks and bookcases that are solid and reassuringly old-fashioned, classic...
...made the film, "Fire on High", for his Visual and Environmental Studies (VES) sophomore tutorial. Although the 22-year-old senior has directed and animated three music videos for MTV since, he said he considers the VES film, his first experience with animation, to be his best graphic work...

No, these experiences are not something to be ridiculed. I only bring the subject up to illustrate a very important point--that is, our world is populated almost entirely by absolute morons...
Miami Herald Police Reporter Edna Buchanan's graphic account of the McDuffie case and its aftermath is buried in The Corpse Had a Familiar Face: Covering Miami, America's Hottest Beat, to be published next month (Random House; 288 pages; $17.95). She reported the story and remains unconvinced by defense arguments that McDuffie died of crash injuries. The balance of the book is a recollecting of her 16-year career as Miami's murder maven. "I have reported more than 5,000 violent deaths," she boasts. "Many of the corpses have had familiar faces: cops and killers, politicians and prostitutes...
