...Kelly and Debbie Reynolds oozes cutness but manages not to be cloying. You know it's all Hollywood so sit back and escape. Our heroes sing and dance their way to glory, the music is wonderful, and the dance routines are geniunely original and entertaining, no Busby Berkely wedding cake horrors. You really should see if just to say you have, and besides, it's such good clean...
...with the blessings of Frank Church and one-third of his Senate colleagues, 13,000 sugar farmers [June 12] are going to do essentially the same thing. I imagine that if Senator Church were queried about the interests of the average American, he would appropriately reply: "Let them eat cake...

With a tug's help we get under way. Thirty minutes out Hurd calls...

The preferred manner, in a low-horizon city dominated by L'Enfant's neoclassical plan, was Beaux-Arts thinly covered with a "modernist" veneer: the cake minus the icing. From the postwar office blocks to the alternately coarse and mincing frigidity of the 1971 Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the past 30 years of Washington architecture have been a prolonged failure of the bureaucratic imagination. There have been one or two notable exceptions, such...
