...moment, the U.S. and Pakistan are discussing which craft Islamabad should buy. Pakistan wants to buy three Boeing E-3A Sentries. The jet, which the U.S. deploys on the NATO front and in other key strategic areas, is a top- of-the-line technical marvel whose exact capabilities are classified. But Washington says it has no Sentries to spare, and has offered instead the much less sophisticated Grumman E-2C Hawkeye.

The colored bands recall Schinkel, the octagonal clerestory recalls Rossi's own floating Venetian theater, and the exposed I- beam "lintels" over the windows remind us that architecture is about construction as well as decoration...
...search process this year has already begun with internal solicitations of names from certain key officials. The formal process of finding a replacement for Heiskell, held up pending the return of President Bok from his three-month sabbatical, will begin with the formation of a search committee that includes Bok, several corporation members and several members of the Board of Overseers...
