...Buzzelli--who worked with Genelle on the 64th floor and was also in stairway B at 10:28 a.m.--fell when the stairwell broke under him but somehow landed atop a rickety pile of debris. These four were rescued before they were burned in creeping fires or crushed in mini-collapses in the later hours of Sept. 11 and after. It's not known whether anyone else could have been found alive--just that Genelle was the last...
...often inhospitable and frequently excessive. For buildings and homes, we crave stability, consistency, moderation: in a word, shelter. So while on paper environmental architecture makes perfect sense--buildings should be in tune with their environment--in reality, it's not practical. Each dwelling, it seems, must have its own mini-environment, with its own temperature, air flow and water and lighting systems...
...restaurant-cum-mini-gallery, the Banpo Village Caf?, doubles as a salon for Nanjing's creative population. Painters and performance artists crowd every table, cracking sunflower seeds and chatting till the wee hours.

And visitors, even nonartists, are readily welcomed. In one evening, I was invited to four artists' studios as well...
...know, the matchup between the two faux football titles is one of the greatest rivalries in video-game history. Which to choose? Both games feature bruisingly realistic graphics and obsessively detailed playbooks. (Safety Bait? Strong Y Flood? You make the call!)

Above all, both simulate the great game of football without the fuss and bother of physical exercise. Choosing between them is really a generational issue. If you're an old-school, Monday Night Football kind of person, go for the classic...
...away. On Broadway now, you can see The Producers and The Graduate. (It used to be that only film stars returned to theater on the Great White Way; now entire films do.) Playing on the silver screen are remakes of Mr. Deeds Goes to Town and the old TV mini-series The Bourne Identity. Our President is a revival of sorts, at least genetically. Come to think of it, the whole concept of remixing is a kind of musical cloning. Or in the case of Elvis, whose sobs welled up from his hips, his return...
