...most successful interviews (e.g. "The Advective is the Statement of Desire" and "On the subject of Violence"), the speech seems to approach the rhythm of conversation while avoiding its customary banality. A fine tactical maneuvering, an interplay of voices prevents the interview from slipping into the atrophy of an artificially into the atrophy of an artificially sustained monologue it moves it advances, it retreats. The finest moments leave the reader, the eavesdropper, the innocent voyeur, with a mingled sense of horror and satisfaction at the audacity with which Barthes engages in verbal fencing: (from Le Nouvel Observateur...
...complex "Grandmother," a pastel floral print overlaid with bold black dashes. "Miami Beach," by Spear, a partner in Florida's brash Arquitectonica firm, mixes soft-colored blobs and a bright red bar. Chicago's Tigerman, known for his theatrical home designs, created "Sunshine," in which bold colors interplay with a cartoon-cute pink angel. The elegant and evocative "Majestic," by Stern, a professor of architecture at Columbia University, combines art deco gilt ornament with a ruby-red rim. Meier's "Professor" barware employs etched lattices that suggest both Louis Tiffany and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe...

Indeed, both lines of influence are visible in Meier's work. His buildings reflect Le Corbusier's interplay of geometric forms, and they are as flooded with natural light as the churches of the 17th century Italian baroque masters...
Both candidates made convincing cases, but they've been doing that on the campaign trail for months now. There was none of the lively interplay that made the Reagan-Mondale meeting so illuminating. Neither side seemed to gain any ground; according to the polls, verdicts on who won the debate split along partisan lines...
