...beauty. For his first completed work in the U.S., Calatrava provided a showstopping new addition for the Milwaukee Museum of Art. His low-slung extension is crowned by a supreme statement, the upward arc of his brise de soleil. It's a sunscreen with "wings" made of 72 steel-pipe ribs. They rise and fall from a diagonal spine like a bird on an ascending flight path. Technically, Calatrava's great wings are functional--when closed they shield the museum's arching skylight. In fact, their real function is pure glorious gesture, a flourish of structural brio. When opened their...

The insurgent presented the filmmaker with a ski-mask and pipe just like his own, and the two of them rode off on burros side by side. Anybody can be Marcos, and similarly it could be quite possible for more than one individual to fill the flak jacket of Bin Laden. And it's not as if the DNA samples or dental records will be easily available to debunk the claims of pretenders...
...partying at the House of Funk. What were trying to figure out right now, he says, is how to throw a massive rager. Its complicated because the band is so large (11 members), were going to have to play in another room, and have dancing in the den, or pipe up the music from the basement or something.
