...MASTER BUILDER (Caedmon). No single drama of Ibsen's is more Freudian, and hence accessible to the modern mind. The play is a situation tragedy, and the symbols bleed. Solness, the artist-builder-husband, is vile in his self-absorption, and pitiable as he watches the tide of his creativity ebb. His wife is stifling and stifled. The young girl Hilde Wangel is Solness' mirage of the second chance, lost youth, lost inspiration, lost love recovered. But life is a role that man cannot rehearse or reverse. Sir Michael Redgrave as Solness thunders, hisses and froths like...
Disqualified Buyers. On top of all that, builders are being hit by rising prices of such items as copper pipe, aluminum windows, lumber and plywood and, in some areas, by shortages of construction labor. The resulting cost increases, as well as higher interest rates, will disqualify some prospective home buyers because FHA will require proportionately higher incomes to meet the higher monthly payments.

Although San Francisco has added over 3,000,000 ft. of downtown office space in three years, the big new John Hancock and International buildings opened with 100% occupancy. Detroit went 30 years without a new office building, but builders recently completed three at once. Pittsburgh's famous Golden Triangle will double its office space in the next 18 months, and demand is so strong that Builder John Galbreath has just lifted his plans for a new U.S. Steel office from 50 to 65 stories. Overbuilding...
...After Builder Einar Rossow put up the Oiseau Bleu (Blue Bird) apartment house, the screech of more than 50 jets a day at the nearby Nice airport discouraged prospective tenants. The Blue Bird's builder sued Air France, the major noisemaker. At takeoff, the government-controlled airline did not think it was in for much turbulence. Air France simply argued that the proper party to sue was the Nice chamber of commerce, which runs the airport. "We just land where we are told," said the airline. What's more, the builder had taken a deliberate risk: nestled...
