When Pat and Jerri Crase purchased Waverly Plantation near West Memphis this year, their primary goal was to keep the historic ambience of the 1880s Greek Revival structure, as well as to incorporate an expansive collection of modern art. The effect of old alongside new is striking. We didn't want to disturb the character of the house. We are trying to avoid that at all costs," Jerri said. "There's a lot of life that's gone on here. You can stamp out all the life that was there before if you try. The old adage 'if walls could talk'. if you leave them alone, they can.

The Bradbury Building in Los Angeles serves both as a "movie star" in its own right and a piece of the city's history. Commissioned by mining millionaire Lewis Bradbury, the building bearing his name was built in 1893 and has functioned as an office building throughout its entire history.

The dedication to preserving the building's history and maintaining its original grandeur has made the Bradbury a popular location for film and television shoots. The building's management team gets frequent inquiries from location scouts interested in capturing th...
In recent years, many works on the Arab world have been published, but few have attempted to study what the Arabs say to explain why, after several generations following their 19th century Nahda (Renaissance), they are still suffering from repression and failed development in the 21st century - long after political independence from their former European colonizers and after the establishment of several nation-states.

One door - less likely to be chosen, I fear - leads toward greater international and national security, and lessened conflict in the Middle East and Asia. Taking it, the U.S. government would make known that, having settled its account with the terrorist movement that attacked New York and Washington a decade ago, it now will remove American forces from Afghanistan, and from Iraq as well - as promised by Barack Obama during his presidential campaign in 2008.
