I have a lot of memories of Falls Church. I went to grade school in Madison Elementary School.

Somali is turning into a desert. Rwanda, you can hardly find a place to plant a potato, it's so crowded.

The biggest challenge is how to affect public attitudes and make people care.

We used to play baseball back in that field and keep an eye out for the bulls.

The problems that the world faces - from nuclear proliferation to climate change - can't be tackled by the West alone. They need a coalition of not just West and East, but they need a coalition of Christian and Jew and Muslim.

I sort of feel that climate change will be solved by science. I just feel instinctively that we will find a way of saving ourselves. But I am less confident that we won't destroy ourselves in other ways.

Earthshaking fire from the center of the Earth will cause tremors around the New City. Two great rocks will war for a long time, then Arethusa will redden a new river.

I would say that an understanding of man's intrinsic needs, and of the necessity to search for a climate in which those needs could be realized, is fundamental to the education of the designer.
