TOLL In the past couple of years we've begun dense suburban developments, and we're back in the cities with low-, mid- and high-rises. There just isn't enough ground left in the suburbs, and you have a whole new thrust from boomers and young hip-hoppers who want to be back in urban areas. Urban developments are less than 5% of our business, heading to 10%. It's definitely caught on. Look at New York. You could have bought the entire meat-packing district for $4.

"The free, poetic side, and also the very practical, analytical side." Once inside, the visitor is thrust before the architect's very eyes. As a young graduate from Copenhagen's Royal Academy of Arts, Utzon zoomed his home-movie lens on ancient world monuments, from the Mayan temples of Yucatan, to Chinese pagodas and Iranian mosques. Watching such footage in the show, one can see the steps...
...again the Crimson margin was trimmed as the Blue Devils began making another run just past midway through the half and again a big trey, this time from junior forward Maureen McCaffery, halted the thrust in its tracks with 5:50 remaining, and all but secured the win for Harvard...
