...tense situation also prevailed behind the family façade. His father was?and is?an authoritarian, a perfectionist and an unyielding disciplinarian who demanded much of his sons and admitted last week that he was accustomed to beating his wife. In March, Margaret Whitman walked out on him, summoning Charlie from Austin to help her make the break. While his mother was packing her belongings, a Lake Worth police car sat outside the house, called by Charlie presumably because he feared that his father would resort to violence. To be near Charlie, Mrs. Whitman moved to Austin. The youngest...
...ade of Order. The disenchantment with the militant Buddhists stemmed in part from their insatiable and constantly changing demands. The Ky government first agreed to constitutional general elections, now set for Sept. 11, at the behest of the Buddhists. Having got that, the militants then demanded last week that the ten-general Directory, now at best an interim government, be expanded by the addition of ten civilians.

...Rudolph's own IBM building in East Fishkill, N.Y., where the middle floor is devoted to machinery whose intake and exhaust hoods grow out from beneath the cantilevered top story like heavy eyelids.

...idea of a functioning façade -one that expresses interior spaces-is not a freshly minted product. Le Corbusier, in his last buildings, was jutting monks' cells out into space, making air funnels into sculpturesque "light cannons." Britain's "New Brutalists" have made sinewy decoration out of external electrical conduits. Philadelphia Architect Louis Kahn has made feudal towers out of air intake and exhaust stacks. Today's architects, in making virtues out of plain necessities, may yet learn how to rival the medieval master masons who turned water spouts into sculpted gargoyles...
...short months, Zambia has found eleven routes around the block ade, which Rhodesia started as retaliation against Britain. British, American and Canadian airlifts are bringing in oil from ports on both the Atlantic and Indian oceans, while trains, trucks, lake boats and barges are hauling it in from as far away as Dar es Salaam (transportation costs run as high as $3.50 per gallon). Last week negotiations were under way for yet another airlift-this one from Mozambique, whose Portuguese rulers may sympathize with Prime Minister Ian Smith and his white rebels but who long ago learned to cover their...
