Ycaza stood bolt upright in the stirrups, desperately trying to hold the stubborn colt back. It was a losing fight...
...learn to think like computers to find their way out of a maze; NASA's floating, jewel-like weather satellites and full-size space-capsule mock-up (complete with a silver-suited astronaut); the Mexican Pavilion with walls of lava cubes and a startling, exquisitely crafted assemblage by Manuel Felguerez; a fashion pavilion where haughty Vogue models perch on concrete lily pads in a 5,000-gallon perfumed pool.
