	Bughouse Square
		Bughouse Square (from “bughouse,” slang for mental health facility) is the popular name of Chicago's Washington Square Park, where orators (“soapboxers”) held forth on warm-weather evenings from the 1910s through the mid-1960s.

		Times Square also came to symbolize the worst in urban decline in the 1960s and 1970s, even as now it has come to symbolize the rebirth of urban America.

	The Mavens' Word of the Day (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Literally, to square the circle means 'to construct a square equal in area to a given circle'.
		Squaring the circle was one of the three great problems of ancient mathematics (the other two were trisecting an angle and duplicating a cube), with the rule that you had to do it using only a compass and unmarked straightedge.
		The Ancients and their followers believed that it was possible to square the circle, if they only worked harder to figure it out, but by the sixteenth century or so most mathematicians came to believe that it was impossible.
