Over the next 15 or so years, as the metal oxidizes and turns green, the leaf-shadow illusion will deepen, drawing the $135 million museum further into the surrounding vegetation even as its metallic diagonals continue to resist being absorbed visually by nature. "We like to talk about paradox," says Herzog, "this thin layer masking things. In some lights this building almost disappears. In a different light it's very sculptural. Then in San Francisco you have the fog, which penetrates the perforations. We like that...
...Emotion and warmth seem foreign to him. Once on a visit to the White House in 1977, Rabin was asked by President Carter if he would like to drop by Amy's room and say good night.

...rapidly growing and devoted audiences drawn by nothing more than a shared interest or two and the sheer magnetism of the editor's personality. Over the past five years, blogs have gone from an obscure and, frankly, somewhat nerdy fad to a genuine alternative to mainstream news outlets, a shadow media empire that is rivaling networks and newspapers in power and influence.
