| FAMILY WISE |
There was no script, no pilot, basically just a sketch of an idea: a television comedy about a New York family man with a disability. But the lead role was to be played by Michael J. Fox, and the story lines would be loosely based on his experience living with Parkinson’s disease for the last two decades.
(The actor’s eponymous foundation has raised more than $ 300 million for Parkinson’s research.) Multiple networks wanted the show. NBC, which committed to producing 22 episodes, won the bidding war, and Fox’s return to a starring prime-time role is slated for next fall. |

| Citation: Integrated Reveal Base |
| Every so often, an elegant solution to a niggling problem comes along that makes a practitioner such as juror Jinhee Park say, "I need it right now." Such is the case with the Integrated Reveal Base, a cleverly devised system that allows the popular revealed-edge base detail to rely on the precision of a continuous, stainless steel channel. A sheet of gypsum wallboard slips into a J-bead that is factory-spot-welded to the channel below. |

| A very family affair. DiSalvo Contracting |
| A deep sense of family permeates DiSalvo Contracting. Founded in 1977 by Vincent DiSalvo II, an ornamental plasterer and sculptor trained in his native Sicily, the business is still run by his progeny. When sons Vincent III and Joseph took the reins in 1983, the firm had all four employees and primarily focused on the repair and restoration of apartments. Today, with 70 employees and an unparalleled roster of fine tradespeople, it has evolved into a full-service general contracting firm. |

| On Sutton Place: Past and present visions merge in a New York Apartment |
| After Ann Pyne, of McMillen, Inc., renovated an apartment in New York, she found photographs of a 1920s design Eleanor McMillen Brown, the firm's founder, had done for Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Field III. That design–in the same building and possibly the same apartment–had long since vanished, she says, "but I was amazed that two designers 80 years apart could come up with so many of the same solutions.” |
