...Bryants are fishermen, and a few feet from their home, the studio team constructed a smokehouse out of scrapped wood and concrete gathered from an imploded silo. The students set colored bottles in the rough walls to draw in light and capped the swooping roof with layers of discarded highway signs. "We try to be innovative, economical and appropriate as possible, reusing materials that otherwise will be discarded," says Mockbee. The result can be surprisingly pleasing to the eye. The Bryants' smokehouse, for example, conjures up Le Corbusier's seminal chapel in Ronchamp, France. The Bryant home and smokehouse, however...
...looked equally unprepossessing on everyone. However, you could tell in which clique a person belonged by nuanced differences in their ensembles. A longer tunic meant you were a brain, loose socks meant you were a toughie. Here at the games all the well-meaning muddle-aged volunteers - the rough equivalent of school prefects - wear garish shirts and silly hats.

Like a Menuhin or a Matisse, El Guerrouj is the consummate artist who makes the end product look as simple as a tune-up or a rough draft. That was certainly the impression he left with those of us lucky enough to see him run the 1,500 m at the world championships in Seville last year. He crossed the line slowing down to a 3:27.65 clocking, blowing kisses to the packed stadium after what...
