...architect, Harry Cobb of I.M. Pei & Partners, studied the square's history and decided that it was never a secluded enclave of culture, as commonly thought, but rather the meeting place of city-shaping forces. These include the six-lane Massachusetts Turnpike behind the square and a cluster of tall buildings near its uptown and downtown flanks. The Hancock Building thus had to be a high-rise to fit into, and escape the domination of, the new scale. From a distance, the tower actually helps to order the chaos of the city's bristling skyline...
...Hunt have a penchant for headlines -but D. (for Davis) Doyle Mize does not. A self-effacing entrepreneur known by only a few in the upper echelons of business, Mize, 48, is chairman of Houston's Southdown, Inc. In three years under Mize, Southdown has acquired a cluster of companies that drill for oil, develop land, refine sugar, make cement and sell beer, pushing its sales up from $35 million to $182 million, with net profits of $38 million last year. Now Mize is spreading into the thriving California wine business...

Biggest contributors: electronics (notably Siemens) and automobiles (notably BMW, with new headquarters that resemble a cluster of three engine cylinders). No business is hard-pressed, whether it be publishing (every seventh German book title is printed in Munich) or the clothing and fashion industries, where earnings have outstripped the beer business threefold...

...week's end, the South Vietnamese task force at Quang Tri was inching its way forward, with the help of U.S. air strikes, toward the center of Quang Tri city. One such strike, Hillenbrand reported, transformed a thickly wooded enemy bunker position into a cluster of burnt-out tree stumps, "as if some triple-strength forest fire had passed that way." If past performance is any guide, the North Vietnamese will probably put up a mettlesome resistance before withdrawing-and the NVA still has plenty of long-range artillery in the hills to the west of the city. Nonetheless...
