...George's grandson and the company president since 1965, "that the independent department store was a dying breed of cat. We knew we had to form a growth company or be absorbed."

Tange, who designed Tokyo's Olympic stadium, had laid out a trunk-and-branch design for the 815-acre site; the U.S. pavilion's balloon design was to have been echoed by surrounding pavilions, notably those of France and Japan. American Architects Sam Brody and Lewis Davis, working with Tange, designed the experimental complex. "Until now," says Brody, "air structures have been rather lumpish affairs on the ground.

His fiancee is Patricia Plante, 36, who resigned last month as dean of Thomas More College, Fordham's four-year-old liberal arts branch for women.
