After watching a few rounds of music lessons, home-baked goodies, and a mountain hike, we decided to drop by the Eliot auction for comparison. To our disappointment, we found a rather staid group of bidders. The auctioneers sported tuxes and bidding proceeded in a prim and proper manner. The massive dining hall seemed sparsely populated and certainly much quieter than its counterpart in Kirkland. I've been told there were several kegs of beer and its partakers in the backgrounds, but clearly they were merely bystanders in an otherwise refined performance...
While we work our magic, the ropes guide the line back-and-forth. I begin to fantasize that our ordeal will culminate in a ride on Space Mountain, but I am sorely disappointed. Instead, our reward for successfully navigating the rat maze and completing our applications is a good old-fashioned strip search. At the very front of the line, a team of security guards is closely inspecting each auditioner. Apparently MTV is concerned that someone may try to beat some humility into Carson Daly's smug noggin...
...preserved bodies, meanwhile, will give scientists an unprecedented look at Incan physiology. Reinhard and his team took care to pack the children in plastic, snow and insulating foam before hauling them down the mountain, and the Argentine military whisked them off to the nearby town of Salta. There, experts will analyze their stomachs to find out what they ate for their last meal, their organs for clues about their diet and their DNA to try and establish their relationship to other ethnic groups. Reinhard will head back into the mountains. There is no telling how many more bodies remain...
...hundreds of thousands of ethnic Albanians like Audaja who desperately fled their homes last week--traversing miles of winding mountain roads afoot or on tractors or atop mules--the world seemed to have come apart. By week's end, according to the U.N., more than 300,000 refugees had crossed into neighboring Albania, Macedonia and Montenegro since the bombing campaign began on March 24. On Saturday, NATO spokesman Jamie Shea said at least 200,000 to 300,000 more Kosovars were heading for the border. At the Montenegro boundary, one column of refugees awaiting entry extended in an unbroken line...
...there is an antithesis to an overnight success, then Hadid is it. She arrived on the architecture scene in 1983 when, at 33 (which is like seven in architecture years), she won a prestigious international competition to design a sports club on the Peak, the mountain in Hong Kong. The financing for that ambitious building fell through, but her drawings and the design--a dramatic cantilever jutting out of the mountain like a futuristic rock ledge--were wildly praised by the architectural fraternity...
