Hejduk began the house series while teaching at the University of Texas at Austin, only a year after graduation from Harvard's Graduate School of Design. The house series reflects his early academic orientation. Hejduk set up his problem and planned a highly systematic and methodical process of investigation: he would design one house each year for ten years, each time exploring different aspects of the situation...
...Austin Ranney, senior political scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, finds immense irony in this development. "One of the great reasons for reform from the very beginning was to get away from patronage, so delegates would not be beholden to the old bosses," he says. Ranney now fears that all of the electoral reforms have not prevented the beholden of a different kind from entering through a "back door" of the convention. Since there are no longer power centers like Chicago's late Mayor Richard Daley, and only 69 Senators, Governors and members of the House were delegates this...
...have any idea what it's like to sit across the desk from a woman in tears, whose life has been destroyed, and ask her boiler-plate questions like her Social Security number." So says Don Hancock, 33, an Austin lawyer who handles divorces.

Austin, author of "Leszko the Bastard, a Tale of Polish Grief," auditioned for the laureate's post with a marvelously stupefying couplet on the illness of the Prince of Wales: "Across the wires the electric message came:/ 'He is no better. He is much...
...early announcement seemed designed to quell speculation about the future management of the company. Goizueta's elevation reflects a compromise between the strong-willed Austin and a powerful shareholder, Robert W. Woodruff, 90, who bossed Coke from 1923 to 1955. Woodruff, who remains chairman of the finance committee, had apparently become disturbed by the company, which remains strong but faces some problems. These include a sluggish profit performance (sales were up by nearly 19% in the first half of 1980, but net income rose by only 7.1%) and a challenge in the domestic market from archcompetitor Pepsi-Cola; Pepsi...
