...twang of Yankee technicians and the business-first guttural of the German scientists. Although only one of the cotton mills now remains in operation, Huntsville thrives as never before on an $81-million-a-year Army payroll. Where once Huntsville extended a mile in each direction from its yellow brick courthouse, it now covers 40 square miles, with gracious antebellum homes, squalid Negro slums, and $15,000-per-unit development homes for Redstone's 16,000 employees. In 1950 there were 8,807 telephones in Huntsville; now there are 25,678. Building permits totaled...
...this case, as in countless others last week, the patient was a dog-a two-year-old great Dane named Missy. Dr. McBride is no M.D. but a D.V.M. (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine). Dr. McBride's clinic, where Missy's operation took place, is a tasteful, red brick colonial building staffed by four veterinarians, a practical nurse, half a dozen kennel men, plus office help.

...Rome and Greece with such elegance and authority that his Palladian style became one of the longest-lasting and most widely accepted personal idioms in the history of architecture. In an effort to preserve Pal-ladio's work (many of his most beautiful structures were made of common brick and perishable stucco), the Italian government late last year appropriated more than $3,000,000. Highest priority items for the rehabilitation program are the most delightful of all Palladio's creations-the villas he designed along the Brenta Canal and in the gently undulating plain of the Veneto region...
...study in the artful fusion of sparkling glass, glazed brick and gleaming metal, the long, low, U-shaped group faces a landscaped plaza decorated with colored fountains and lit by a splendid illuminating system. Into the passenger buildings are packed modern supermarket-like facilities to speed travelers on their way: escalators to carry passengers from floor to floor, 32 special customs check-out counters to which passengers wheel their luggage in marketlike pushcarts, enclosed arcades that enable passengers of each overseas flight to go through the port without getting mixed up with domestic passengers. Around the new terminal buildings will...
