Masked Innocence. His imagination takes another turn with Burning House. Topped by a Dairy Queen turret, it stands on spindle legs like a kind of stylized cockerel. A .mirrored slot is its front door, a bell tolls the alarm from its innards, and brass flames flick from its windows. A viewer can peer past them to discover a drawing of a grotesque dragon and miniature ladders leading to invisible upper rooms from which there is obviously no escape. What does it mean? "I have no idea," says Westermann. "I cam build a thing, but I can't nail down...
...UNIVERSITIES. Sociologist Daniel Bell argued that today "the source of power comes from theoretical knowledge-and, as this is the case, the university will replace the corporation as the main source of innovation and direction. The university is the gatekeeper of society." If that is true, said Poland's Jan Kott, a professor of comparative literature, the U.S. university is not ready for the task. "After a year at Berkeley," he explained, "I think the university is a green zone of escape, not a real place in a real world. Two days after the takeover of Nanterre, De Gaulle...
...Broome Street is a bustling, truck-clogged thoroughfare; at 9 p.m. it is all but deserted. Doubtfully, the passenger pays the cabby and walks over to try the door of the store. It is locked.

The discussion allotted one day to the internal problems of the U.S., one day to the character of the post-industrial society (Daniel Bell's phrase for a coming age of plenty and leisure), one day to the problems of U.S. foreign policy, and one day to the cultural future of the world. For obvious reasons, much of the scheduled exchange fell back upon generalizations which were assumed to begin with...
Clarence Hewes, head of Chicago's Bell Printing Co., whose presses churn out menus for 160 restaurants per day, has another theory. He blames the shortage of skilled, versatile chefs and the rising cost of food, which have forced restaurants everywhere to shorten their menus. "The less you offer, the more you have to say about it," says Hewes. Mon Petit, a restaurant in Chicago, devotes a three-line historical note to Chateaubriand beneath the dish named after the 19th century French statesman...
