...Miami. In such metropolitan areas as Boston, Atlanta, Houston and front-running Dallas, more apartments are now going up than one-family houses. That condition has long prevailed in New York City, whose prosaic brick or concrete residential towers command attention mostly by sheer size. The current behemoth is Co-Op City, a 15,400-apartment complex now rising on the site of a former swamp in The Bronx. Both in and out of New York, the quality of construction often leaves something to be desired; many builders admit that noise traveling through thin walls is a main source...
Whimsical Inventory. Many such ventures soon expire from a sad lack of managerial experience. Begun with much enthusiasm three years ago, San Francisco's Hunter's Point Co-op was underfinanced and ill-managed, soon encountered gaps in its shelves as well as in its clientele. Last month Safeway Stores rescued it from near bankruptcy, moved in to revamp its whimsical inventory, which included a $3,000 supply of imported wines. In Los Angeles a similar post-Watts effort called the "Unity Market" is now just a memory. Says Watts's Rev. James Hargett...

Last week, for example, with problems swirling all around him, he told the National Co-op Conference in Washington: "With all of our complaints, with all of our sufferings, our inconveniences, our setbacks, our frustrations, I think that all of us have good enough judgment to know that we are on the way, that we are moving, that we are getting better every...
...sale of crystal balls, especially the large $25 size, has risen roundly in Los Angeles. Manhattan Importer Edward Weiss has completely sold out his stock of Viennese fortunetelling Tarot cards. Across the nation, the sale of Ouija boards has tripled in the past year, even the Harvard University Co-op sells out whenever it stocks them. Zodiac sign guessing has become part of the social chitchat, and fashion magazines, such as Harper's Bazaar and Town & Country, have yielded to the fad, started regular monthly horoscope columns...
