Some argue that grand classicism must be reserved for public buildings. A refutation of that theory is the absolute beauty of Michael Graves' headquarters for the Humana corporation in Louisville. A dense collage of lush textures and elements, novel but never freakish, the highly sculptural tower conveys the joy of architectural invention. Not since the late 1950s and the monuments of the International Style has there been a high-rise as satisfying...
...nuttier than a fruit cake? Try the Pentagon's recipe for making one. MIL-F-14499F, the Defense Department's specifications for holiday fruitcake for its 2.2 million servicemen and-women, consumes 18 pages vs. the two-thirds of a page for standard dark fruitcake in the classic Joy of Cooking.

...things he would like to design are baby strollers that do not jiggle, an airplane with an observation deck, a taxicab with a glass roof, and police uniforms and cars that "don't scare the hell out of kids." His manner is sparky, one part anger to two parts joy, like a more thoughtful, humble Lee lacocca. "Ninety-five per-cent of industrial designers don't design," he says. "They are essentially stylists under the aegis of the marketing department." Stumpf hates the raw, unfriendly interiors of the standard school bus. He hates dull, inexpressive Amtrak locomotives. He hates hermetic...
