...Museum is a somber place. One of them has called it "the greyest and grimmest collection of medieval plaster casts in America." The visitor passes caskets and kings, prophets and snarling gargoyles, and even one "wise" and one "foolish" virgin. Off the main foyer is a pleasant patio with a pool, overlooked by the Brunswick lion. This is a copy of the statue erected by Henry the Lion, founder of Munich...

Almost the entire street level of the new building, Lever House, is given over to a parklike complex of garden and patio, open to the air and open to the casual stroller, while the building itself, a starkly modern, $6,000,000, 24-story, glass-encased monument to the soap industry, rises delicately overhead on stainless steel columns. The net effect is one of jet-propelled urgency held thankfully and restfully...

Birds in Hand. In Bogota, Colombia, teaching three parrots to say three phrases paid off for Leovigildo Perez when he found three would-be burglars standing in the patio of his house, their hands held high, while the birds screamed, "Hands up," "Don't move," "Whoever moves a step will be killed...
