But, recently, the who's who of architecture gathered in the Great Hall to honour one man and his profound impact on architecture.

Baton Rouge had some mighty happy dogs when their young owners completed Wok 'n Whisk's class, "Dog's Best Friend." Teacher Cecilia Dalme, assisted by her son, Clay Shields, instructed the children in the making of dog biscuits. Students learned to carefully measure and mix their ingredients, which can be found in any home pantry. Dalme then let the children roll the dough and cut out cookies in many shapes, including fire hydrants, large and small bones and cats. After the biscuits were baked, each student took home an entire tray of warm treats.

I"m sorry, my precious, but they simply won"t go away. You"ve been telling me for absolute ages now that Glitz is Dead, that the nouveau riche have become the riche passe , that America is fed up to its nearly 7 percent unemployment rate with social airs and "Bonfire of the Vanities" conspicuous consumption. But, like the root-feeding mealybugs in my garden, the Glitzoids keep coming back. I was with a swarm of them the other night at a $2,500-a-plate soiree that would have outglittered even Nancy Reagan in her grandest 1980s delusion of grandeur.
