Alper and Kramer, who have placed ads in every issue, say their responses have included a puzzle, a mock resume, a photo of Mel Gibson, and a letter from a medical student written on a diagram of a skeleton...
...overblown shows of engineering (the Moscone Center in San Francisco) or imposing fortresses (McCormick Place in Chicago). But New York City's Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, designed by James Freed of I.M. Pei & Partners, is exceptional. The vast interior (1.7 million sq. ft.), with its weblike metal skeleton, resembles the glorious train sheds of the late 19th century and, of course, London's Crystal Palace...
