...shed no tears for Taniguchi the Obscure. He prefers anonymity. Indeed, he kicked off a recent interview with TIME in his almost monastically spare office in central Tokyo by confessing half-nervously, half-wearily: "I've been avoiding this type of thing as much as possible." Still, MOMA reopened last Saturday amid great fanfare, so there's now no avoiding the limelight. Although he has a built a number of highly respected buildings in Japan (including eight museums) over a 40-year career, this is Taniguchi's first international commission?and it ranks as one of the most important museum...
Gannon and Maasdorp, impressively, didn’t show it. No tears were explicitly shed. In their place, most people might have cried. At one point, I even thought that I might have if I was in their shoes. Not out of total despair, mind you; far, far from it. Instead, just like graduation, just like the end of one part of your life, this game was the end of a significant chapter in a story...
Second thing I know for sure: If Democrats have a problem, it is too few principles, not too many.

Aides Shrum and Ron Klain, who were running the practices, imposed what they called "zero tolerance," and by the time Kerry had drilled a few days, he had figured out how to make those lights his friends. The green one, for instance, would be his cue to pivot from attacking Bush to talking about his own proposals, so that every answer would end on an upbeat note...
...time Kerry boarded his plane for Miami, he had gone through four full 90-minute dress rehearsals and more hours than anyone could count refining the back-and-forth on every conceivable question. But before they left that shed for the last time, Kerry took Klain aside. "You know, when we came here, I wasn't sure what I'd get out of it," Kerry told him. "But this has been really, really useful...
