...freshman, I didn't know architects did too. But a lunchtime compatriot with a panache he could pass off as a plume of knowledge deigned to explain Sever's deficiences. It's awkward and contradictory, he explained. Look at the round turrets and the rectangular chimneys. They don't belong on the same building, he said. I can't recall his other criticisms; I assume they were each as contrived...
...some glimmerings of hope that progress could finally be made. After two months without an effective government, Turkey at last had one; on the very day that Greek voters gave Caramanlis his mandate, Turkish President Fahri Korutü named Sadï Irmak, 70, an appointed Senator who does not belong to any party, as Premier of a caretaker regime. Beyond that, the results of the Greek elections were well received in Ankara, which regards Caramanlis as a "reasonable and informed" man with whom it can do business...
When he appeared in the square, wearing a bright red shirt, the crowd of 150,000 greeted him with a thunderous explosion of cheers and firecrackers. "Our country should be reconstructed so that it may belong to all Greeks," Papandreou began.

The crowd marched out chanting, "Tonight the right is dying." Watching the huge rally...
...Western nations, most newspaper editors do not belong to trade unions even though their reporters may. Reason: editors are considered part of management; besides, they usually fear that union membership might compromise their political independence.

In recent weeks, however, an N.U.J. drive against the high-profit, low-wage provincial papers outside London has threatened to change that...
...American drama has been handsomely restored by England's Royal Shakespeare Company, proffers at least one clue to the enduring fascination of Sherlock Holmes. He has the mythic quality of a seer. He is a master illusionist of the mind, a cerebral magician. He simply does not belong in the ordinary annals of sleuthdom. Even such outstanding detectives as Nero Wolfe, Inspector Maigret and Philo Vance pile up and sift the facts. Holmes notes the evidence with something like X-ray vision and pulverizes it with weary disdain in a sentence or two. His fictional colleagues may be clever...
