...AMERICAN FOLK ART MUSEUM Husband-and-wife architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien were the perfect team for this vest-pocket New York City museum. Their famous feel for craft and material is something that folk artists understand. But their exercises in stone, glass and ingeniously textured metals are carried out within a modernist idiom that never looks quaint or "folkloric." Who knew you could work so many delightful configurations of space and surprising vistas--plus three staircases--into a relatively small building? It's a jewel-box museum that's a jewel in itself...

...deferential Japanese housewife is at the end of her rope. Her hopeless husband is unemployed, her once promising children are bugging on mushrooms and even the dreamy Koizumi looks likely to leave her at the economic altar. How does she respond? By taking her destiny in two petite hands and yanking?hard. Tug-of-war, the sport of ancient warriors and sadistic gym teachers, is enjoying a renaissance around the world. An Olympic sport from 1900 to 1920, there is strong sentiment to bring tugging back to the Games. That would be welcome news in bored and poor Japan, where...
