...notched nearly $14,000 in sales and, according to Gras, saved members (the only people eligible then to shop there) $4,500 through sharply reduced prices. Despite some early financial near-disasters and several location changes, the cooperative grew steadily, in 1924 finally moving to a four-story red-brick building at its current location in Harvard Square. In due time, the Coop began distributing profits to members in year-ending patronage rebates, a practice which continues today. By 1925, sales had passed the $1 million mark, membership had topped 10,000, dues had dropped to the present one dollar...
...sunny afternoon last May, just two days before Mother's Day, a parcel arrived at the two-story brick home of Howard and Joan Kipp, in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn. The package was addressed to Joan, 54, a supervisor of guidance counselors in New York City's public schools. Standing in her kitchen, Mrs. Kipp tore off the brown wrapping paper and found the Quick and Delicious Gourmet Cookbook. She opened the cover. Suddenly there was a flash, and two .22-cal. bullets tore into her chest. Kipp came running into the room and discovered...
...Methodists as a boot camp for Sunday-school teachers, and even today an empty bottle of sarsaparilla (alcohol is not sold on the grounds) flung into the night is likely to bean an aestivating pastor. To one side of the amphitheater is the stately United Presbyterian House, red brick with white trim, and to the other side is the substantial United Church of Christ Center, red brick with yellow trim. On the 856 acres owned by the institution, there are more church buildings than tennis courts, and there are a lot of tennis courts...
...visitor ambles to the ice cream pavilion in the town's square. Near by a sizable bookstore offers the works of Reinhold Niebuhr in paper and hardback, but no Playboys. A red-brick walkway shaded by great maples leads to the Hall of Philosophy, a determinedly Greek structure with large white columns. It would be impossible to utter a facetious word in this edifice, and Gene Outka, a professor of religious studies at Yale, is seriously posing conundrums, one of which concerns a military chieftain in some benighted land who has condemned ten political prisoners to death...
...with, as Neutra put it, "soul-refreshing" variations. His style and convictions were strong enough to adapt themselves to the residents, the climates and particularly the landscapes of his projects. The Nesbitt House in Los Angeles (1942), for instance, has a decidedly rustic ambience. The vigorous textures of rough brick and redwood board and batten predominate. The hard, angular lines of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs (1946) deliberately contrast with nature. The spindly steel columns, fragile-looking window walls and beams that poke freely into the air are a reinterpretation of classic Japanese architecture...
