...Museum Tinguely in Basel, Switzerland. If Mawurndjul is considered the Michelangelo of rarrk, then the MQB is his Sistine Chapel. Across 150 sq m of ground-floor ceiling, his sacred billabong at Milmilngkan ripples and sings; the rarrk's kinetic power suggesting the presence of Ngalyod. Nearby, his painted hollow-log column appears to bear the weight of the building. Mawurndjul visited Paris last September to hand-paint his lorrkkon log and supervise the ceiling work, joining his artisans on the scaffolding.

...rise headquarters for Hearst's growing empire. The intention was that a taller addition would be constructed later, but the Depression intervened. For nearly eight decades, the Deco-flavored base stood alone. In the late 1990s the Hearst Corp. decided to keep the old building but to hollow it out and erect a new tower within and above...

The hollow cores of the forms are filled with concrete to become walls that resist fire, termites and rot. Even the concrete has a high content of fly ash, a waste by-product from power plants that requires less energy to produce than standard cement. Plus, there was minimal reliance on toxic chemicals...
...father's 60th-birthday party but also the eerie nonreaction to it--the way the placid surface of programmed jollity barely ripples.

With a strong American cast (Julianna Margulies and Michael Hayden, above), it's the take-no-prisoners drama of the Broadway season...
...Still, the battering the Windsors took in the 1990s, especially the emotional gusts during the week after Diana's death when the Queen seemed to be a stonyhearted defender of a hollow status quo, has left the family permanently on guard. According to the Ipsos MORI poll, 81% think Britain will have a monarchy in 10 years, but only 32% think it will in 50. Says one of her senior aides: "One can never be complacent...
