Earlier in darkest night, when the voices vanished, he had crept from the bed. Visions fell from him and hovered where he had lain, buzzing softly next to Mirna. He felt tremendously alone as he tiptoed to the window. Here he practiced ego loss. The yellow street lit luminescence of the drapes sucked his face in and he looked out. A bear drove by in a station wagon. A great big bear's smile left a trial of light. We're in a city, he thought. Us, the walls, the bear, the streets. Our poorly schooled soul looking through...
...developed has been going up steadily-from an average of 34 in 1920 to at least 61 now. The Poskanzer-Schwab explanation: most recent Parkinsonism victims were infected during a 1915-26 epidemic of encephalitis lethargica, the virus of which disappeared in 1931. The virus may have damaged or lain dormant in the part of the brain that controls the movements affected by Parkinsonism. A telling point in favor of their hypothesis: Poskanzer and Schwab can trace only one Parkinsonism victim born since...

To further unify the two, he used rough-textured concrete to match the limestone facade of the Saarinen building. The result is so harmonious that Washington's National Gallery of Art has commissioned Pei to design a major wing to house its new Center for Advanced...
...patron saint, where for days they had kept a silent vigil in honor of the 70 or so patriots who died under Soviet guns and tank treads in the first days of the invasion. On the spot where the bloodied clothes of a slain 14-year-old had lain surrounded by candles, city workmen emplanted rows of blooming red salvias. Then a water truck sprayed the flowers, finishing the job of converting Czechoslovakia's main shrine to its martyrs into just another bit of cosmetic civic landscaping...
