Instead, they're interested because the name connotes an austere functionalism in design that has infiltrated 1970s American life everywhere from typography to the mass-produced Marcel Breuer steel tubular chair. They'll wonder how this regulated style ever evolved from these 51 varied graphics--expressionist, primitive, whimsical. realistic, neo-classical, and architectural.

...likes neckties, almost all of them striped, and he sometimes carries an extra in his briefcase for a midday change. He has been given a bunch of fancy robes for his new swimming pool, but he prefers an old red terry-cloth number. His blue leather chair from Alexandria is the one he seeks out at night for his homework. If he has a favorite musical number, it is probably Oklahoma! Judging by his reaction to movies this year, That's Entertainment is at the top of his list. He does not watch much television...
