I can't wait for Alex's comments on this.
This article relates to a discussion some of us were having a few years ago on the use of antibiotics.
A group of Catalan artists and an American architect intend to enter the never-realized Gaudí plan in the formal ground zero memorial design competition of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, scheduled to begin this spring.
