...Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and Canadian graphic designer Bruce Mau collaborated to create this definitive anti-coffee-table book, an eccentric and exhaustive assemblage of Koolhaas' building designs, jottings and musings. It even has pages of charts showing how his practice has fared over the years. It was the first book ever to have a launch party at New York City's Museum of Modern Art. And no wonder. Squat, garishly silver and with photos that look more like they were taken for a home photo album than an architectural manifesto, it's designed to be dipped into, flicked through...
...Newspapers are struggling to keep their place as an important source of news for people," says Rem Rieder, editor of the American Journalism Review. "It's easy to write them off as dinosaurs."

Hootie fitted right into the Southern pop-rock scene, playing clubs, bars, parties: any parties--birthday parties, frat parties, you name it. They would would sing REM and U2 covers and maybe a few Hootie originals, then crash on a dorm-room floor. "We'd drive 12 hours to do a show," Bryan recalls. "For $150 and two free beers," Sonefeld says, finishing his band mate's sentence, a habit among all four members of Hootie...
