Despite the peaceful façade of proletarian uniformity that it presents to impressed foreign visitors these days, China for years has been a divided and unsettled country. The upheavals of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution of 1966-69 and the purges that followed the abortive 1971 coup of Army Leader Lin Piao-Chairman Mao Tse-tung's designated successor-denuded the Communist Party's leadership and plunged its bureaucracy into disarray. Since 1971 China has had no head of state, no defense minister, and no army chief. The Central Committee of the Communist Party and the powerful...
Construction of the hotel, which will be co-owned by Portman and managed by Edward Carlson's Western International Hotels, is to begin next year, with the opening set for 1977. Says Portman: "Times Square now is only skin-deep-a façade of lights and signs with no depth or substance. I hope that the new hotel complex will speed the entire development of Times Square...
Palladio: the very name is suggestive, evoking pedimented villas on the bank of the foggy Brenta, the symmetrical façade of Venice's Church of the Redentore, and white porticos glimpsed through Deep South veils of Spanish moss.

The British have refurbished the magnificent church of the Madonna dell'Orto; the French fixed up the church of Santa Maria della Salute; the Americans, the façade of the Cà d'Oro. Still, the job is far from finished; about another 200 palazzi, churches and buildings remain to be rescued. That badly needed work will soon start, when Italy at last moves to save one of man's unique and exquisite creations. "La Serenissima," editorializes...
...inhabitants of THE HOT L BALTIMORE are transients, and so is their habitat. The E has dropped from the façade of the Hotel Baltimore, and the wreckers' ball awaits this seedy relic of past elegance. The lobby is a kind of limbo where the remaining tenants relate or display their past falls from grace. In The Time of Your Life, Saroyan gave us one whore with a heart of gold, the luminous Kitty Duval. Wilson is no piker. He gives us three: Martha (Trish Hawkins), April (Conchata Ferrell) and Suzy (Stephanie Gordon). Martha is a lost, innocent...
