...about the pure love of a father and a daughter," she says, defending the song all these years later. "There was a lot of shyness about frankly saying, I love you. My father would say it to other people and through song, and wanted me to know it through other people as a public thing." (Read about Serge Gainsbourg in the pages of TIME...
...things that pure Modernism excluded from architecture, including symbolism and psychology, Saarinen brought to his TWA terminal.

But more than that, it has an almost maternal quality, one that's re-emphasized by the Fallopian coils of the stairways inside. And the long enclosed tunnel that passengers had to walk from the main terminal to the gates - isn't that like a birth canal leading you to the moment you are launched into the sky?

Blacks, for the most part, fell into the slave category. Race was about civil status. In the 19th century, concerns about keeping the white race pure led to the addition of the "mulatto" category in 1850 (and "quadroon" and "octoroon" in 1890), a process traced by Harvard political scientist Melissa Nobles in her book Shades of Citizenship. With rising immigration, Chinese and Japanese were added as categories - but not Irish or Italian - underscoring that somehow Asians...
