...city's brand-new $3,500,000 city hall owns two proud distinctions: clean-lined design and architectural refinements stamp it as "North America's most modern city hall"-and it is paid for. Last week city employees moved their files out of the old red brick warehouse that has housed city offices "temporarily" since 1913, and into their new steel, stone, and glass administration center...
...sophisticated Romans built of enduring stone, brick, concrete and mosaic, and Britain is strewn with the ruins of their villas and fortifications. But the barbarian Anglo-Saxon bands that invaded Britain after the Roman legions withdrew in the 5th century lived in crude timber buildings that rotted away with the centuries, leaving only the faintest of traces.

...post-boycott day begins when he arises at 6 a.m., dresses quickly in a grey suit ("I don't want to look like an undertaker, but I do believe in conservative dress"), takes an hour for reading, prayer and breakfast before going to the M.I.A. office, a small brick building on South Union Street. There two secretaries are already at work, pounding on their typewriters (the association receives and answers upwards of 100 letters a day), or cranking a Mimeograph machine to turn out official notices to the Negro population. King's desk is in a cramped, yellow...
