But one night three weeks ago, Barasna heard the slamming of car doors and the crying of sleepy children. She peered out into the lane with its high mud walls and saw that every Taliban commander in the area was fleeing the city with his family. Barasna knew why.

...awoke at 4.30 a.m. to the sound of morning prayers. Over tea, our hosts struck poses for our camera, demanding we take their picture despite Islam's injunction against representations of living things.

"We're always looking for ways to connect with sponsors over and above just selling a sign," Meis says. At the Staples Center in Los Angeles, NBBJ created exhibition space for Toyota and let United Airlines decorate the club-seat corridors. For the Milwaukee Brewers, NBBJ pitched Miller Brewing Co. the idea of incorporating its logo on a clock tower. "That becomes their blimp shot," he says...
