...CITY HALL Completed in 2002, the seat of London government is one of the more striking structures along the Thames. Designed by Foster and Partners, it resembles a giant steel-and-glass egg tilting in the wind. Inside, the spiral staircase at its core seems to float in midair, and the meeting chamber offers breathtaking IMAX-like views of the river.

"Everywhere I go, people have told me, 'Oh, I'm getting nervous. The Republicans - they're so mean. What are we going to do?' " Obama said. "They did it to John Kerry. They did it to Gore. They tried to do it to Clinton; they did it to Dukakis. That's what they do. That's their politics. They don't know...
