...meadow by the River Cherwell, St. Catherine's low, flat roofs (maximum height: 30 ft.) blend with, rather than dominate, a horizon defined by trees (see opposite page). Only the high, spare bell tower-two planes joined by minimal struts-provides collegiate symbolism. Inside the grounds the pattern is yellow-beige brick (Jacobsen had several walls knocked down and laid again), sweeps of floor-to-ceiling glass and marble-smooth concrete beams-all interspersed with gardens, courts and a reflecting pool. The quadrangle is a rond-point of greensward offering a single, artfully off-centered tree...
...present at a Bell & Howell foremen's meeting in the late 1950s at which Chuck Percy spelled out employee racial integration in vigorous terms (and over a few dead bodies). My family and I benefited substantially from the comprehensive employee medical coverage that this Christian Scientist fostered. His success in meeting low-cost foreign competition with quality amateur movie equipment-while paying factory help scale or better-was a milestone in U.S. business.

But though every kikoi has a border and a sunburst or some scroll work in the middle, the material of each is unique. Most come inscribed...
Though she is a touch too pretty to look as if she knew what she was doing, Jenny Bell, 36, is no fashion fledgling. While still a college girl at Sweet Briar, she made the cover of Mademoiselle Magazine ("It was scrubbed looks and bangs they were after"). Two years later, she found that no one cared if she scrubbed or grew grimy, ("Sophisticated models were the ones who got jobs"), decided to try her hand at designing instead. After 17 jobs and 13 years on Manhattan's 7th Avenue, she was unemployed. "Manufacturers," she explained, "never did what...
