...believes color photos encourage an appreciation of the merely picturesque in architecture. He insisted that some of the walls of the gallery be covered with rough plaster, like many of Holl's own interiors. And he demanded that certain salient details -- a basswood-and-airplane silk screen from a Manhattan apartment, for instance -- be built right into the exhibit's walls. Fortunately, the museum indulged him: the result (on display together with a handsome exhibit of Emilio Ambasz buildings) is the liveliest MOMA architectural show in years and palpable evidence that Holl, at 41, is one of the most influential...

"It didn't take an Einstein to figure out what that meant," says Grigsby. Then...

Manhattan's William Poll, sandwich purveyor to the Upper East Side top crust, prepares at least 50 boxes a week for his customers. On any given Monday morning, an arbitrager on his way to the coast will stop by to pick up his deluxe, shiny white box. Inside: beluga caviar on thinny-thin slices of white bread, a wedge of brie, English biscuits, a string-bean salad and a chocolate mousse. Fellow passengers look on jealously, perhaps not suspecting that this discerning gent finds $95 a small...
