...competition with the machine. The electronic age makes the problem all the more complicated. Last week in a night class in Los Angeles, a dozen members of the United Steelworkers of America (C.I.O.) took a step toward preparing themselves for the day of the automated factory. Wedged behind desks built to suit the proportions of their teen-age children, the men (average age: 36) listened intently to 31-year-old Stanley Hauer, instructor and planner of their pilot course, who sat in his shirtsleeves atop his desk as he lectured...
Changing Pattern. Who are the people who have built this record? Are they back-country farmers with a Bible-banging, hellfire preaching kind of religion that snaps its galluses loudly and contemptuously at other Protestants, all liberals and the Pope? Theodore Adams is one of their most noted pastors, yet he never flails the air with more than a finger when he preaches to his congregation, which includes young executives and their wives, painters, postmen and the managers of chain stores.

Six concentric octagons of different-colored soil showed up on the air photos; on closer examination, they turned out to be low ridges, laid out like city streets around a central plaza. The ridges look like defensive works, but Ford thinks they were built for people to live on. Their total length is 11.2 miles, and when newly built, they must have contained more than 530,000 cubic yards of earth...
Most recent example is Architect Eero Saarinen's new cylindrical chapel for Massachusetts Institute of Technology (TIME, June 29, 1953), built of rough-textured brick and separated from the campus by a narrow moat. Meant to harmonize with the nearby brick dormitories, the nondenominational chapel presents a severe mask on its exterior; within, it is a citadel for repose and worship...
