...Hartford's sweltering red brick Bushnell Memorial Hall, delegates fidgeted and fussed. At 1:34 in the morning, after 10 hr. and 49 min. and eight roll calls, Connecticut Republicans finally selected Insurance Executive John Alsop as their candidate for Governor. Next day, tired and irritable, they took just one decisive muster to smash the comeback attempt of former Governor-Diplomat John Davis Lodge, who wanted to be their nominee for the U.S. Senate...
...restore Williamsburg, Va., to the red brick and clapboard authenticity of the 18th century, the late John D. Rockefeller Jr. laid out $70 million, but even that was not enough to finish the job. Now the philanthropist's family is dipping into the bank to help one of his pet projects.

Designed by Gerhard Kallman, Noel Mc-Kinnell and Edward F. Knowles, all of Columbia University, it combines traditional Boston brick with reinforced concrete, but the most striking thing about it is its use of ancient secrets to produce modern magic. It does indeed look something like a temple, neatly set within a plaza and punctuated by sloping terraces, sweeping public walks, and an endless play of light and shadow...
