-- Kaplan on the "guarded optimism" surrounding grand plans for L.A.'s Dodger Stadium (at least they're not tearing it down).
-- Pushy or not, L.A.'s Eli Broad is the one "most likely to save notable architecture from poor financial planning."
-- Rose on a TV show set in Baltimore that "gives you the measure of a real city that can trace many of its problems back to its architecture, or rather the failure of its architecture."
-- Hawthorne visits the U.S. Embassy in Berlin, and finds it "something of an anti-monument" (though certainly not all the architects' fault).
