Many of the very things your report finds questionable are not so appalling from the inside. An antique, seemingly haphazard, or unintegrated building dating back into the last century is, if anything, much more therapeutic than brand-new, cold-cut steel and brick. It is the minds, the imaginations, the fancies of those treated that is important, not their carcasses...
Cadillac and drove to his Lake Shore Drive apartment. Lieut. Pincura's men posted the President's seizure order on company bulletin boards, began alternating on four-hour shifts in front of the eight-story brick office building. For the 16th time in World War II the U.S. Army had seized private property, at the direction of the President, as the result of a labor dispute. But this time there was a difference. That night on the radio, in the early editions of morning newspapers, in news offices and corner drugstores, the questions were asked: Is Ward...
...Heidelberg, a dirt-poor whistle stop (pop. 615) in the red-clay hills of Jasper County, Mississippi, is the proud site of the largest gusher east of the Mississippi River.

Oilmen, betting that Mississippi would become a major oil-producing state, excitedly pointed out that Heidelberg's oil sands are 200 ft. thick...
Just east of Fifth Avenue on 29th Street, the rambling, red brick Little Church Around the Corner (officially the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration) is one of the busiest parishes in the U.S. The bustle does not come from its 666 High Church parishioners, but from its international fame as a lucky place to get married. In its 95 -year history there have been over 100,000 weddings...
