...harborside MCA, they gave it the thumbs-down. European architects Sauerbruch Hutton had won an international design competition to redevelop the former Maritime Services building (one scheme involved a "lightbox" over the existing art deco edifice; another had it demolished and replaced with what detractors likened to a petrol station). But public support waned, and the plan was eventually scrapped. Instead, director Macgregor set about improving the existing building, turning around the museum's deficit, and widening its community outreach; for the first time this year, "Primavera" will tour the country when its Sydney season ends in November.

...Ohio team is gathering at a Westlake Shell station across from some massive Conoco Phillips chemical tanks and a Burger King. "I'm going to try to work squads toward each other so when you meet you'll know you're done," says Mitch Ross, a team leader briefing the search groups on what part of the town they'll take.

So space watchers had good reason to be dubious yesterday when NASA at last pulled back the curtain on its plans for the next generation of spacecraft intended to return human beings back to the moon. As it turned out, the plan is an awfully good one-sort...
...will take no more than $104 billion over 13 years to pull the project off, necessitating no increase in NASA funding. That sounds like way too free a lunch. The next manned NASA program that comes in on time and under budget will be the first. The space station-easily NASA's biggest fiscal and political disaster-will cost more than 12 times its original projections...
