...glancing, one-shot story in the local papers. On a steamy June night in 1985, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, a white plainclothes policeman shot and killed a young black man named Edmund Perry. The cop said Perry and another man had assaulted and attempted to rob him. But Eddie Perry was no down-and- out hood. Only days before, he had graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy, one of the nation's most exclusive prep schools. He would have entered Stanford in the fall had not a bullet intervened...
...central issues in People v. Bernhard Goetz was whether Goetz had reason to believe the four youths intended to rob him. Five dollars is not pocket change; Goetz would have had to open his wallet to get the bill, leaving himself vulnerable by giving Troy Canty a good look at how much money...

Rather than returning to neoclassical forms, as postmodernism has generally meant in the U.S., the IBA architects have tended to borrow from the early 20th century avant-garde. Aside from Kleihues, Rob Krier is probably more responsible for the results than any other architect. He was master planner for three important IBA blocks. While none of Krier's IBA architecture is great, all of it is good. His best is the main building (of nine) of a rather formal housing estate near...
