...Predock building is strikingly different from the next. In La Jolla, Calif., his university theater is to have a 27-ft.-high mirror appended to the front. And a western-memorabilia museum at the University of Wyoming will be a stone cone, suggesting a Teton or a tepee. His lack of a signature style is born of a faith in the uniqueness of each project. Predock believes that if he contemplates the client's requirements and experiences the site intensely enough, the right building will emerge. "This is an adventure," he explained to a couple who asked him to design...

"People come to me and say, 'I'm having trouble with my horse,' and the horse is saying, 'I'm having trouble with this person,' and I believe the horse every time...
...last day of the clinic we all ride in a lush pasture not far from where a billowing cloud on the Grand Teton looks like a pillar of smoke. We make mistakes.

Tribal elders dispute the claim, saying Crazy Horse had no children, but Little Sun's mother Armalona Greenfield insists, "Chief Eagle told me, and he would not lie." Greenfield is Jewish, and Little...
...firm has been involved in some of the past decade's worst calamities: the collapse of Idaho's Teton Dam in 1976 (eleven dead, damage $1 billion), the huge fire at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas in 1980 (85 dead, hundreds injured), and the collapsed skywalks at the Kansas City Hyatt Regency Hotel in 1981 (113 dead, 186 hurt). Robins Zelle's latest big victory came last fall with an estimated $38 million settlement for 199 clients injured by the Dalkon Shield...
