NRA gets it wrong

After the tragic shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre claimed that the only thing that will stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Friday’s shooting at Fort Lauderdale’s airport proves how foolish his words are.

There are few public places that have more good guys with a gun than our airports. Based on LaPierre’s logic, the shooting should have been stopped without any death or injury. What he fails to recognize is any act of surprise, be it Pearl Harbor or a gunman, is virtually unstoppable.

‘I had the honor of working with Florence Knoll Bassett’

The death of Florence Knoll Bassett, even at 101 years old, is a sad event for me as I remember the many years of our design relationship, working on numerous projects.

My company represented a diverse range of European producers of decorative tile and architectural hard surface materials, like marble, granite and travertine.
