...power to establish the nation's natural and historical treasures as national monuments, then ingeniously outflanked an attempt to wipe out many of the nation's national forests. Faced with a forest-eliminating rider to a bill for much-needed funds, Teddy responded with wilderness-bred cunning. In the ten days before signing the funds bill, he simply proclaimed the establishment of 16 million new acres of national forest. He sat up nights until dawn with Pinchot poring over topographical maps, deciding which lands looked wooded and worth preserving...
...shock of his innovations bred rebellion and outrage. Nevertheless he got commissions. His 1952 Unité d'Habitation in Marseille lifted 337 apartments on stilts to give them a view of the Alps. On its surface of rough poured concrete, the marks of wooden forms remained like a touch of man's hand-a touch that so many modern glass-and-steel structures lack. At Chandigarh, the new governmental seat of the state of Punjab in India, Corbu set about making battlements on a plain. Rendering to God as well as man, he designed a chapel at Ronchamp...
...Buck is Texas-born and New Mexico-bred, strong in the trousers and weak in the head. At 27, he imagines himself a sort of composite TV cowboy and spends most of his time riding mattresses.

...little outright protest against and no overt interference with last week's registration effort. On the steps of Selma's courthouse, Sheriff Clark glowered across the square at the crowds of Negroes and snarled, "I'm nauseated." Selma's Circuit Judge James Hare, a plantation-bred racist, dolefully described the coming of the registrars as "the second Reconstruction." And in Louisiana's East Feliciana Parish, where less than 5% of the 4,102 voting-age Negroes are on the rolls, one white lounger turned to a friend as the registration lines formed and sneered...
