...started on the house, I told people that the cows would eat up my house," Alberta Bryant jokes, recalling her nervousness about having her home constructed from stuccoed-over livestock fodder. Yet six years later, the building is still sturdy. The translucent overhang filtering light onto the porch's yellow columns and the cavernous green Quonset-hut-shaped rooms jutting from the back make the house a cool place to relax during a lazy afternoon...
...from the Bryant House stands the Harris House. Its winged roof is responsible for its nickname, "The Butterfly House," and it truly looks as though the building is about to lift off like the yellow lepidopteran fluttering nearby. And, also like a butterfly, it is light and airy. The sharply angled woodwork in the towering screened-in porch could be mistaken for the patterns on a diaphanous wing.

On the walls of the brown campaign cubicles at Austin headquarters were huge national maps with a wide Bush blanket of blue covering the states in which he was up. A few specks of yellow marked the toss-ups, and the Gore strongholds in red were so small they looked like squashed bugs. The heady numbers were such a point of pride for the Bush team that they boasted about them on their website. "Gore has never led in a likely voter poll," it crowed...
