...cluttered block between Mt. Auburn Street and Massachusetts Avenue needed something spacious and airy; Holyoke Center, with its jumble of panels and colors, simply adds more clutter. The Center's utility core, projecting as it does much too far above the roof, gives the building an overall unbalanced appearance. And I will not be told to wait until Phase 1-B is finished: twice as much of a bad thing can only be twice...
...every night (under a perfect moon) another tropical taste of the revelry of luau. But in only ten years, Waikiki has been transformed into some thing that seems to belong more to southern Florida than it does to the once magical islands of Hawaii.

...important as an antidote to one of the special hazards of freeways-the "tunnel vision" that sometimes leads to hypnosis and sleep. It is also vital to give the driver some means of instinctively judging his own speed, a task that is accomplished by houses, signs and other clutter along the traditional roadside. This may be accomplished on the new freeways by angling the road for views of industrial plants, valleys, water towers, or even pieces of giant sculpture, to contrast with the "green corridor" of the countryside...
