More ISIS Follies, Rick Scott’s Black Judge Blind Spot, Ebola’s Surge, Gifford vs. Gun Nuts: The Live Wire

One of the wonders of the world: Bobst Library at New York University. It was designed by Philip Johnson and Richard Foster. It contains more than 4 million volumes and seats 2,500. When plans for the library were first announced in 1966, it was to cost $17 million. By 1971, the cost had soared to $24 million. When it was dedicated in December 1972, after years of controversy, costs had soared to $25 million, the equivalent of $147 million in 2014 dollars. It would not open until September 1973. Elmer Bobst was a self-taught man who started as a $3-a-day clerk in a drug store and became president of the Hoffman-LaRoche drug company from 1928 to 1944, then headed Warner-Lambert, now Pfizer, until 1967. He was a close friend and adviser to President Nixon. He died in 1978, at age 94. (© FlaglerLive)
