...excitement? Because of all the forces that affect cities, the interstate highway program, 90% financed by federal funds, has been the least controlled. And yet today, those wide concrete corridors play as vital a role in shaping cities as once was played by rivers. Undirected, highways smash and crash through whole neighborhoods, debouch a torrent of autos into already traffic-choked streets. Owings' team, which includes engineers, traffic and transit consultants as well as architects, intends to wield its power to direct Interstate 95's path through Baltimore as delicately as a surgeon's scalpel, avoiding historic areas, living organic...
...another $1.2 billion of projects on the drafting boards. To each job S.O.M. will bring its proven methodology. Explains Owings: "You first ask if the building is needed or if it is possible to save the old one. Then you ask where it should be. How will it affect the environment of the surroundings? It should make a contribution to the community just as the community provides it with services." The last step in the process is design...
...tradition-bound companies are now loosening up on what their employees wear. Detroit's decorous J. L. Hudson Co. department store has begun allowing salesmen to wear sport coats instead of suits. Xerox insists on tonsorial tidiness, but it has permitted one of its California service technicians to affect a handlebar mustache because "it looks quite sophisticated on him." At Jersey Standard, well-cultivated sideburns are sprouting at the middle-management level. IBM, long a bastion of conservatism, has relaxed its unwritten requirement that men wear white shirts only, even though it is far from ready for the Nehru...

Revelle thought that in these areas the position would simply, "tear people apart," although he did not feel it would affect their birth control practices. In these areas then the ban would be disruptive to Catholic faith and beliefs...
That did not affect men over 20, whose unemployment rate remained steady at a slim 2.3%. Bearing the brunt are the 13.5 million out-of-school youths aged 16-to-21 who are looking for a summer job. The Labor Department figures that only 11.5 million of them will find jobs of any sort. One reason is that, despite big draft calls and a booming economy, such perennial employers of student power as construction and retail trades are soft. Even political campaigns, which absorb many young volunteers, are not taking up the slack...
