...second half, it didn't take long for the Bears to get going. After Harvard extended its lead to 33-28, Brown went on an 18-3 run, sparked by Bear sophomore guard Rada Pavichevich, who hit two three-pointers and blocked one by Harvard sophomore forward Katie Gates. The Crimson would never recover fully from the 46-36 Brown lead...
...about their issues, trying to understand their minds and motives: a solid month of virtuoso schmoozing. "For Bush, everything is personal," says Terral Smith, his legislative chief. "He needs to have the personal relationship before the issue comes up." He dropped in unannounced on legislators, gave them nicknames and bear hugs and backslaps, went to pancake dinners and football games in their districts. He wasn't just making nice.

And in the work of Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe, Modernism's great pioneers, glass and steel proved capable of being worked into something not just new but superb, beautiful enough to bear comparison with the ornate and voluptuous past. But in less capable hands, or on smaller budgets, the just-so geometry of Mies--architecture for Everyman!--became architecture for the nobodies, the dreary cartons that everybody works in, drives past and ignores...
