...what is this, Dizengoff Street?" yelled one Israeli soldier, referring to Tel Aviv's cafe-filled main street. He was surprised to see journalists in civilian clothes on the newly secured Israeli bridgehead in Egypt. We, however, were nervous.

...dazzle the eyes-not like the Mediterranean or South America. So I had white in mind when I designed the Opera House. The final effect will at times resemble what we call Alpengluhen [alpenglow], the color you get on snowcapped mountains when the sun is setting, the beautiful pink and violet reflections from the combination of mat snow and shiny ice."
