...College of Education Building, with its nonstructural facade of 120 faintly Arabian slabs of precast concrete. Yamasaki (who gets carried away by his own jokes) rendered the crudest verdict. When he presented the model to the Wayne board of governors, he pulled out from his pocket a little wedding-cake bride and groom and placed the pair on top. "Twittering Aviary." Because of this obsession with façade effects, Yamasaki has been denounced and defended with increasing vigor.

...arrived. A teapot was kept under 24-hour surveillance in Indonesia President Sukarno's room, should he want a spot at any time. And to a bungalow sometimes occupied by Eccentric Millionaire Howard Hughes, midnight requests for odd items-once, it was only an upside-down cake-are promptly delivered. The hotel boasts that its kitchen can produce anything upon demand, even supplies a special $1 sirloin-carrot-and-peaburger for dogs. As a result of such tender, loving care, the occupancy rate has stayed above 90% for the last ten years, and the Beverly Hills grosses some...
