...landscape, like Herzog & de Meuron's new National Stadium in Beijing, or the daily pleasure rendered by a more pedestrian product, like Harry Allen's new first-aid kit for Johnson & Johnson. My first experience with great design dates back to the early 1970s when my parents would buy stuff at a store called Design Research on Manhattan's 57th Street. What I remember most is the Marimekko fabrics, particularly the Unikko poppy print, which graced everything from curtains to pillows.

...creates two open spots in the weekend rotation. Senior hurlers Sean Haviland and Brad Unger have been solid this season, excluding Haviland’s poor showing against Penn on Monday, so they bring some stability while rookies like Hofeld and Ben Sestanovich get a chance to show their stuff. This strategy also bodes well for next season—if Hofeld’s one gem turns out to be no fluke, or some other current freshman emerges, the Crimson will boast a potent rotation next year when sophomore Max Perlman returns from his leave of absence, Eadington comes...

"It's like they're mastering knowledge of themselves," he says...
...would admonish us to close the chasm of misunderstanding between the races and find common ground in the blogosphere! And that shouldn't be too hard. Obama himself clocks in at #8 for Whites and #12 for Educated Blacks. And he's obviously #1 on our hypothetical list of Stuff Mixed People Like.
