Floor by floor, the Forum is as eventful as a totem pole. To satisfy zoning regulations that require upper stories to be set back to admit sunlight to the street, most architects provide a stair-step silhouette. Abraham produced a diagonal slope with angular overhangs, like teeth on a harpoon. His upper stories simultaneously thrust upward and avalanche down. Below that, the director's office is housed in a glass box that juts from the zinc facade...
Some users may be shocked that Nikon chose to leave out a manual viewfinder. But in my outdoor tests, I didn't miss it. The screen is so bright that even in direct sunlight on the Golden Gate Bridge, I could see myself grinning into the camera. My only real criticism is that the 2500's resolution is 2.1 megapixels, when 3.5-megapixel cameras have broken through the $700 price barrier. Most amateurs will not spot the difference unless they want prints larger than 8 in. by 10 in. Until I turn pro, the Coolpix 2500 is everything my shirt...

Presenting her work from the 1970s onward, von Rydingsvard narrated slides of her work that depicted the process of building and eventually the completed product. She revealed the work to the delight of the audience reacting to the beauty of various pieces catching sunlight in sculpture gardens or on private land...
...just out to have some fun and score some chicks. In contrast to the Strokes edgy “Hard To Explain,” Alex Greenwald’s surfer-dude wail sounds most comfortable singing, “I’ll try for one ray of sunlight to hold in my hand/ Maybe we can be happy again.” There is nothing too sophisticated in their arrangements and lyrics, which are reminiscent of Weezer in sound but not in substance. Their lyrical irony extends no farther than their ’60s sci-fi movie...
...atom-bomb blasts and analyses of particles in strata at the 65 million-year level, he concluded in Geology that most of the dust particles were too large to have remained suspended in the air for many months. The finer particles that stayed airborne would not have blocked enough sunlight to cause mass extinctions. Pope speculates instead that soot from the worldwide conflagrations, sulfate aerosols and other impact phenomena were to blame. His findings prompted such headlines as ALVAREZ TEAM WAS WRONG and DUST DIDN'T DO IT, and heartened the relatively few scientists who still contest the Alvarez theory...
