This Week's Quiz -	
	"Technology cannot be an end in itself but must aim at
	solving long-term social and ecological problems. This is
	impossible in a world where short-term profit for the
	'haves' is seen as a goal. At the expense of developing
	more efficient technology for the 'have-nots.'"
	* What influential Pritzker Prize-winning British
	architect, noted for high-tech designs, made this
	statement over 25 years ago?
	* Hint: This architect partnered with another noted
	designer from 1971 to 1977. Together they created an
	important museum in Paris, named for a famous French
	leader.

Architecture Answer - for last issue's quiz...
    While "broach" can be something that happens to a sailboat, 
    it is also used as a verb and a noun in stone masonry. What 
    is a broach in masonry terms?
