Harvard, Stanford, Chicago and Columbia Teachers. Of the four, the Harvard Graduate School of Education is currently taking the boldest measures to cope with education's imponderable future. A yearlong, soul-searching study recently examined the school's aims and responsibilities-and last week the school dedicated a new building in which, as Architect William W. Caudill put it, "the container fits the contained...
...Ginza. "Down with the Sato government!" bellowed the Zengakuren students, Socialist Party workers and Sohyo union members, as they marched past hordes of riot cops in blue plastic helmets with Plexiglas face shields.

The three-acre building that houses General Motors' Futurama ends in one gigantic tail fin, which may be good as advertising but is ridiculous as architecture. The boldest structure at the fair is Architect Philip Johnson's New York State pavilion: 16 tremendous columns support an elliptical roof of colored plastics that is larger than a football field...
