While Government and industry groped for ways to alleviate America's aerial arteriosclerosis, the traffic jam in the skies shifted from acute to chronic. The glut that has all but congealed the New York City metropolitan area's "Bird Cage"-Kennedy, La Guardia and Newark airports-now spreads confusion across the country and abroad, shredding connecting schedules in Los Angeles and squeezing service in Miami. Fortnight ago, "Black Friday" choked the Golden Triangle between New York City, Chicago and Washington with 2,079 delays. Black Friday now is every day. The situation cannot possibly get better before...
...HONESTY. Right away, it has to be admitted that architecture, like life, tolerates contradictory kinds of honesty. Today architects like to show how buildings stand by calling attention to the structural system. In San Francisco's Alcoa building, the beautifully proportioned glass box hangs within a strong steel cage of vertical and diagonal steel beams. It thus avoids that hallmark of cheap building, a forest of interior columns. In the Gulf Life tower in Jacksonville, the architects went a step further; they expressed engineering stress lines by thickening concrete beams where they meet columns, narrowing them where there is less...
...effort to bridge the gulf between the traditional and the revolutionary. As the richly robed churchmen filed into Uppsala's twin-spired Gothic cathedral, trumpeters, oboists, French horn and trombone players scattered throughout the church sounded a hauntingly dissonant hymn by Danish Composer Per Norgard worthy of John Cage. Seated together with Sweden's octogenarian King Gustaf VI Adolf, was another secular guest, Zambia's President Kenneth Kaunda. The prayer was read by Tanzanian Evangelical Lutheran Bishop Josiah Kibira, resplendent in a stole whose tribal designs stood in dramatic contrast with its white silk background. The program...
Died. C. Douglass Welch, 61, portly good-humor man, whose nationally syndicated column, "The Squirrel Cage," appeared in 32 newspapers around the country; of a heart attack; in Seattle. With a combination of humor and an acid pen, Welch attacked the wrongs of the world, created "Happy" Digby, whose bouts with small-town authority were followed by Saturday Evening Post readers for more than 14 years...
...EXAMPLE, as Calvin Tomkins noted in the May 4 issue of the New Yorker, Cunningham believes that movement and sound function independently in a dance. As John Cage puts it, they merely coincide in Space-Time. So at one premiere night the Cunningham troupe heard the score for the piece for the first time. A dance, according to Cunningham, does not mean anything that can be translated into words or music. It has no explicitly dramatic or psychological content. Particular movements may evoke emotional responses in the audience, but these responses will vary from person to person. Cunningham is interested...
