...Ripken didn't just dress and go home. He went back out onto the field for one of his postgame autograph sessions, signing for and kibitzing with 2,000 fans.

A local organization called It Ain't Wright has argued that the architect's original concept envisioned a 2.8 hectare multipurpose civic center, complete with jail and railroad station, on a pristine stretch of lakeshore. The scaled-down version being built snuggles up against a cluttered Madison neighborhood.
