Today's entry is designed to bring to you two links. The first is to Kristol's op-ed in the Washington Post (use bugmenot.com if you have trouble getting in), regarding Donald Rumsfield. I will provide no comments because the article speaks for itself.

The second is to an article about the market district of Les Halles (in Paris). This is the sort of project that I would be doing in a perfect world, in about forty years, as an established and reputable landscape architect. It's not the sum total of what I'm interested in, but I think that most landscape architects would agree that the chance to redesign a section of the city that is commonly considered the Western world's best (on aesthetic grounds) would be extraordinary. I think I will make it a goal to make this the first in a series of weekly links to various landscape architecture projects, both for my education and the education of anyone who is curious.
