GLASS ZOO

10 March 2005, New York Sun, R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr. column, pg. 11, col. 1:
On another occasion, Mr. Bolton wrote that if the glass zoo on the East River that is the U.N. headquarters "lost ten stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference."


I'd add "glass zoo" to "lipstick" and "black rock" for NYC buildings, but I don't see much use so far.

GUERRILLA CHESS

10 March 2005, New York Sun, Nibras Kazimi opinion, pg. 11, col. 2:

There are some hits for "guerrilla chess" and "guerilla chess," but not many. There were only gorillas when I played.
