...would anyone who does not mind being tricked and teased by the architecture at almost every turn. The new building (paid for mainly by O.S.U. alumnus and Columbus-based retailer Leslie Wexner) may have been the perfect project for this hyperintellectualizing bad boy to prove himself on: it was conceived by the university as both a museum and a seedbed for avant-garde art, from Anselm Kiefer paintings to Pina Bausch performances to a new video installation that displays images from the building's surveillance cameras. Did the university want a fin-de-siecle monument to erudite monomania, inspired nervousness...

The 150 m.p.h. winds--ordered to blow in the proper direction, of course--will turn the measliest Harvard screen pass into a potential 30-yard gain. We won't even need to tackle Yale's running backs, as the wind will push the Elis back into their own end zone for a Harvard safety...
