"Philip Johnson's steel and concrete fantasia in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, designed as the New York State Pavilion for the 1964-65 World's Fair, has been crumbling for decades. Now it is finally getting some attention."

"The lawsuit is a public - and now seemingly irretrievable - declaration of a fundamental rift that officials have tried to gloss over with photo opportunities during the last year. It betrays the tumultuous business-as-usual jousting that has replaced some of the stated intent to rebuild ground zero in a cooperative, selfless spirit. And it will certainly not make life easier for Mr. Silverstein, who has been battling his insurers over the proceeds from the destruction of the trade center, money he needs to rebuild the site."

"... the last decade has witnessed a sharp rise in the number of buildings whose design seems motivated not primarily by any functional goal but by a desire to enhance the status of the cities or countries that have commissioned them. But to imply that this strays from architecture's historical goals is to deny history."

"The problem on all fronts is money, as the developer Larry Silverstein watches his contribution to the tower's building fund diminish and federal promises of the full $21 billion in post-9/11 aid grow fainter by the day. Only last week, the governor's office acknowledged that Mr. Pataki had appealed to President Bush to help convert $5 billion in tax breaks to cash in order to help the downtown area. This idea, floated earlier by Mayor Bloomberg's office, makes sense. The tax breaks would not help in Lower Manhattan as much as direct aid. But cash — estimated in the range of $2 billion to $3 billion — could certainly boost an area still suffering from the aftershocks of 9/11."

"Bruno Latour is a social scientist whose writings and collaborative work mediate between the fields of sociology, anthropology, science, technology, art and architecture. He emphasizes experimentation as a tool for decoding the connections between the human and non-human world. In his latest book, Politics of Nature: How to Bring the Sciences into Democracy (2004), he argues for a rethinking of political language around what he terms “attachment” and "critical proximity," that is, the notion that people and things are intimately connected through politics"

Bush-bashing seems to be the flavour of the season in the U.S. as the country nears presidential elections. And the latest in the series is a shocking image of a blood-spattered Bush devouring a headless child, that is creating quite a stir.

"When I mention Horizons, Skyway, World of Motion, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Discovery River Boats, and Dream Flight, what do you think of?  You think of rides or attractions that are no longer in production at the Walt Disney World Resort."

"Congress and the Department of Housing and Urban Development have been playing a transparent game of "good cop, bad cop" since HUD set out to savage Section 8, the federal program that provides housing subsidies for the poor. Republicans in Congress say they budgeted enough money to underwrite the program, and they blame recalcitrant officials at HUD for the cutbacks — while the agency, in turn, maintains that it is doing what Congress told it to do.

Behind the game, however, both sides seem intent on squeezing money from the HUD budget to help pay for all those tax cuts for the rich, even if it means exposing thousands of poor families to the possibility of eviction."
