...delays in receiving the granite necessary to build its centerpiece--the JFK Memorial Fountain. But according to its planners at the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC), by the time 350th visitors arrive, they will be able to stroll the $2.5 million project's newly paved paths and enjoy its lush grass, instead of the current view of dirt and bulldozers...
...with the opening of "Vienna 1900: Art, Architecture and Design," a dense display of objects at New York City's Museum of Modern Art, the revised revisionism is official: the arts and crafts of early 20th century Vienna may have been idiosyncratic and lush, but they are products of the modern sensibility. MOMA's entire ground floor has been given over to the exhibit, which consists of 700 works produced between 1898 and 1918.

...what would Bird do? "I don't give out my secrets," he said. "I've worked too many hard years on my game to give my secrets away." Bird will say that, when teams decline to double-team him, he mourns those lush opportunities to pass. "I love it when I'm double-teamed." Familiar with triple-teams, Olajuwon said, "Bird works out everything in his mind beforehand, but I can't do anything except react to the situation. I never practice my moves because, when the time comes to do them, there isn't time to think of them...
