...with a spire that rises to the patriotic altitude of 1,776 ft.--the world's tallest building. In a gesture that harks back to the ancient solar markers of Egypt and Peru, he has designed his public squares so that each year on Sept. 11, a wedge of sunlight will fall across one of them from 8:46 a.m., when the first of the hijacked planes struck, until 10:28 a.m., when the second tower fell. Still to be decided is the design for a memorial to the Trade Center victims, which will be chosen this year after...
...everything but some random litter and a tacky chandelier. Many of these artists take aspects of life that earlier generations painted, drew or wrote about and render them in photos, film or video art. Mike Marshall doesn't paint sun-dappled scenes but his video clips, such as Sunlight (shifting shadows on a patio) and Days Like These (plants and lawn periodically drenched by a sprinkler), do the unexpected: watching grass grow is exciting. This technological art depends on a collaboration between artist and subject - no longer passive, models provide their own narration like Veronica Read or, like Yokomizo...

At four-feet by four-feet, you can sit up cross-legged to type, curl in a ball to read, stick out your legs to stretch, or give up and take a nap spread-eagle on your stomach. There is a steady supply of natural sunlight for my pasty vitamin D-deficient skin, the occasional passersby, and a head-on view of a church steeple with a bird that I thought was fake for three days, until it flew away on Monday...

Probably not via missile--the explosion needed to distribute the virus would at the same time kill most of it, and the rest would not do well in open air and sunlight. In any case, missiles may not be necessary. The virus spreads so efficiently from person to person that an agent--presumably immunized--with an aerosolized batch of smallpox in a subway station or a small building could easily seed an epidemic. Because the virus is tiny, it's relatively easy to aerosolize. But there's no evidence that Iraq has developed the capability...
