...present a minimum of obstacles and a maximum of potential clues to the all important question of whether water has existed on the planet. The rover Spirit is thus headed for a formation known as Gusev crater, about 15º south of the Martian equator. Orbital photography has mapped a sinuous, 559-mile channel that slices into Gusev from the southeast and looks for all the world like a riverbed. "The water should have cut through that crater and then ponded," says Crisp. Spirit's instruments will scrutinize the crater floor, looking for evidence of lakebed sediment as well as particular...
...Arts Plaza in the city center); Leipzig (a car plant); another German city, Wolfsburg (a science center); Rome (a museum of modern art); Salerno, Italy (a ferry terminal); Cincinnati, Ohio (an arts center); Innsbruck, Austria (a café-topped ski jump, which opened last month); Abu Dhabi (a sinuous bridge); and, biggest of all, Singapore, where her team drew up the master plan for a high-tech city on a 200-hectare site, a sort of Singapore Silicon Valley scheduled to take 20 years and something like $15 billion to complete. The diversity of her projects springs from Hadid...
...Baldwins are proud to display the rampant eclecticism that is widely accepted as the hallmark of talent.

Under the sway of Klee's probing, wobbling, sinuous line, everything stable seems to be coming apart, and we are brought into a world that is simultaneously lyrical and absurd. There was something prophetic about this disintegration, but perhaps it was just as well for Klee that he died in 1940, on the edge of the worst war in human history. Could he have been happy in the atrocious second half of the 20th century? One doubts...
...wildly spiraling metallic towers of the Guggenheim Museum. "It looked so different from everything around it," he recalls. "I wanted to do the same thing with a shoe." Eighteen months later, Nike unveiled the Air Max Specter, a slip-on sneaker with an upper sole of grooved, sinuous curves, available in the same titanium gray as the museum's exterior. The shoe became the season's No. 1 seller...
