'The Libeskinds' -- The winning architect brings his wife along. Or does she bring him along? Introducing Daniel and Nina Libeskind.
"'If they are inseparable and in some ways indistinguishable, they're nevertheless absolutely night and day,' said Jeffrey Kipnis, an architecture professor at Ohio State University and an old friend of the well-coordinated couple. 'Nina is a campaigner .... She's a dogged fighter; she understands the difficulties and intricacies of everything from background negotiations to public presentations.' Friends and acquaintances credit Ms. Libeskind with translating her husband's talent into competitive bids for commissions all over the world, and with managing massive staffs and budgets."
