...Francisco Graphic Designer Michael Vanderbyl looks to Europe for inspirational rigor. The checkerboard fields and two-tone corded trim of Vanderbyl's bed linens for Esprit recall Josef Hoffmann. The palette (peach, delft, ash) is sober and cool, Wiener Werkstatte monochrome given a pastel California ruddiness. Vanderbyl sheets would go nicely in a Christopher Alexander house. Alexander, a Berkeley architect and urban theorist, has lately turned his militantly humanist attentions to office furniture. No workstations or open plans for him. Instead, Alexander and his colleagues have designed mass-production desks and bookcases that are solid and reassuringly old-fashioned, classic...
...generation of boastful baby boomers who had never before known a bear market. But last week's wild market gyrations, coming on top of recent layoffs on Wall Street, have left them breathless. "All of a sudden, people in my age group have come of age," says Ian Wiener, 26, a portfolio manager for Clemente Capital, a Manhattan money-management firm...
...hour video as you can in a 250-page yearbook." Even the most successful video yearbooks are rarely bought by more than a quarter of the graduating students, compared with two-thirds or so who usually pick up the book version. Still, the converts in academia are enthusiastic. Frank Wiener, 66, who directs the TV program at Staples High School in Westport, Conn., pays video yearbooks the ultimate tribute: "I wish I had one from my high school...

Colonel Michael Wiener, the physician who headed the Israeli medical team, speculated that survivors may have been positioned in air currents that somehow escaped contamination. At least one survivor's good fortune involved more than plain luck. Dennis Chin of Su-Bum told reporters that he had been lying on his bed when the choking gas descended. As he gasped for air, Chin dragged himself to a windowless shed behind his house, where presumably there was enough oxygen...
...Graves, Andres Duany and Mark Mack. Today as then, the hip bourgeoisie is overeager to embrace bratty, nihilistic expressionist painters. If the confident, public-works liberalism of the 1960s is our version of Vienna's 19th century Ringstrasse urban renewal, then Reagan is our reassuring figurehead Franz Josef. The Wiener Werkstatte? The firm of Swid Powell, for whom the most prominent architects design tableware. Turn-of-the-century Viennese could feel cataclysm coming -- and in retrospect, the anonymous presence of young Hitler makes that last-waltz skittishness seem almost operatically prescient. Today the moment-by-moment potential for nuclear...
