Before construction begins, Leathers holds a Design Day, when he meets with local residents to solicit their suggestions. He especially invites children to submit drawings and wish lists; castles and mazes are among the most popular requests.

...challenging is the interpretation of a variety of classic experiments begun in the mid-1980s in which babies were shown physical events that appeared to violate such basic concepts as gravity, solidity and contiguity.

Though 70 and with two new hips, he moves lightly, returning moments later with a battered racquet. Its head is small by today's standards, but it feels heavy and unwieldy. Cooper's big break in the '57 Open was Fraser upsetting Lew Hoad...
