...with one artistic passion: the magic lantern he was given as a child, and whose miraculously moving images he would later remake and replace with his own. His autobiography is called The Magic Lantern and is mostly a litany of his loneliness and gaucheries. You would think such an inward lad was trapped in a shell he could never come...
...People will have to really focus on education," Nilekani says. "That has to happen." Still, Nilekani is sure that the U.S. will find its way in the internationalized economy. "The capacity of the U.S. to constantly reinvent itself," he says, "is really extraordinary." And why not?

To meet U.S. safety codes, the museum had to apply 7.5-cm-tall wooden markers ("courtesy curbs") on the floor in some galleries to prevent visitors from advancing into inward-sloping walls and bumping their heads. Christoph Heinrich, who will become the Denver museum's new curator of modern art in September, has already announced that for one of his first shows he plans to ask artists to offer work that responds to the language of Libeskind's spaces...
