...Asia. But for years Koolhaas was far better known as a theorist than as a builder. His 1978 book, Delirious New York, an approving account of the uncontrolled development of the Manhattan streetscape, was that rare thing, a big seller about architectural theory. Even now he remains the very model of the oracular modern architect, given to panoramic pronouncements on modernity ("If space junk is the human debris that litters the universe, junk space is the residue mankind leaves on the planet"). His highest goal is to restore possibilities for human interaction of whatever kind. Congestion and sprawl he sees...
...callback for Down with Love. So in addition to keeping the writing gig she has had for seven years at SNL, she's also working on a sitcom-development deal at NBC. And she would like to write and direct movies in which she has small parts. "My role model is Harold Ramis," she says, referring to the writer of such movies as Stripes and Ghost Busters, who also appeared in them. "I want to sneak into movies.

Thomas, who holds titles for downing tacos (43 in 11 min.) and eggs (65 in 7 min.), hopes to pad the $20,000 she's won this year. The rival stars...
...sarcastic and frivolous. In fact, most negative advertising seems sort of dumb and old-fashioned these days, especially when it's practiced in the crude, the-other-guy-will-eat-your-children manner favored by both the Bush campaign and liberal interest groups. "Bush has been running a 1988-model campaign," said a Kerry strategist, referring to the ton of sludge Bush the Elder successfully dumped on poor Michael Dukakis' head during that dreadful presidential year. "They assumed that if they dumped stuff on John Kerry's head, he'd collapse. He hasn...
