...Many People. All over town, living rooms, bedrooms and baths are being added at a rate to match the office boom. Slum clearance projects have been marching through Harlem and the Lower East Side; low-cost housing has been supplied by organizations along the lines of the cluster of 22-story cooperative apartment houses recently erected west of Eighth Avenue by the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union. But the middle class has not been served so well by private builders...
...slinging, and The Lonely Conqueror is no exception. The hero, Sergeant John Baako, U.S. Army, has colored skin, but beneath it lies a colorless stereotype.

Closeness & Surprise. The automobile has so spread out stores and clogged up streets that the only solution is to cluster shops together again, the way they traditionally were, and let the shopper get out and walk. Shopping centers with "pedestrian malls" proliferate across the land. But too many urban planners seem to be still thinking of the automobile, laying out their malls with bleak, wide-open spaces that provide neither pleasure for the sauntering eye nor convenience for the foot-weary shopper...
