There was nothing quality-ridden about the artist's original sources -- a smudgy, one-column figure of a girl with a beach ball advertising a resort in the Poconos, a moony frame from a romance comic. But by the time such things had been run through the loop from ad to art to ad again, they had become as invested with glamour as a photo by Avedon. The sheer pervasiveness of Lichtenstein's style rivals and maybe even exceeds Warhol's, even though, unlike Warhol, he kept his own distance from the ad industry as an artist and never offered...
...front of the gaudy, gilt Buddhist temple we stopped, and approached a crowd of people, children mostly, who were squatting around a circular, white, plastic tub. Many small hands swirled in the tub's water. Each hand held a round, metal loop that had white filter paper stretched across its diameter. Hand and metal-paper extension followed swarms of multi-sized goldfish darting around the tub. Each hand and its loop was eager to win a fish by successfully scooping it out of the tub with the water-weakened paper net. Wise hands targeted the large schools of pinky-sized...
...attention was diverted when I noticed a more ambitious hand maneuver its paper loop under the largest goldfish in the tub, and lift it swiftly out of the water. I watched the goldfish as it lay tenuously in an iridescent arc, its tail and head hanging over the sides of the fragile circle. In a second it began to squirm and twitch. Tail and head arched spastically upward to meet the other, reversing the direction of its parabolic arc.

...River-Tunnel alternative eliminates the tunnel altogether. The design has been called "Son of Z," however, because its two bridges with a total of 14 lanes and three loop ramps make it almost as visually imposing as the original design. It would cost $995 million...
