...spaces, the ones set aside for elevators. stairways, pipes, wiring and ventilation, could be housed apart from the served spaces, the offices, factory floors, auditoriums or galleries, in separately articulated volumes. By that means you could divide a single building into an ensemble of varying forms. So Kahn put slender brick stairway towers up the sides of his 1961 Richards Medical Research Building in Philadelphia, where from some angles they give the illusion of free-standing sentinels beside the glass-and-brick towers that hold the laboratories. At Rogers'Lloyd headquarters those externalized stairways reappear, this time wrapped in coiling...
...does not look like much of a threat. But the slender former bank clerk is a leading light of a community that some view with fear. Like more than 150,000 Poles, she now lives - and works - in Ireland. In January, more than 1,000 of her compatriots converged on Dublin's Temple Bar district to attend an annual fund raiser for children's hospitals in Poland.

Dressed in a starched white Oriental tunic over gray sweat pants and sneakers, J.Z. Knight, 40, sat on a makeshift stage in a sturdy armchair surrounded by a veritable garden of lavender flowers. Her voice, almost preternaturally husky, seemed to take on a gamut of accents from European to Indian as she spouted a relentless stream of imperatives about self-reliance...
...than a symbolic gesture. The tougher test for Democrats will be getting the same measures through the Senate, where the incoming majority leader, Harry Reid, will have only a one-vote majority and the Republicans will have the procedural power to gum up his agenda. Reid discovered just how slender his majority will be when South Dakota Democrat Sen. Tim Johnson was rushed to the hospital on Dec. 13 with a brain hemorrhage. (He remains in critical condition...
