Owner Philip Lovell was a health columnist, an exponent of water cures, open-air sleeping and vegetarianism. Neutra, more enthusiastically than scientifically, designed for him what he called a Health House. It consists of a steel frame, somewhat like a huge bird cage, daringly jutting out of a steep slope. Without sacrificing its airy appearance, the frame is enclosed in a dynamic pattern formed by window bands, metal panels sprayed with a coating of stucco and cantilevered balconies. The entrance to the house is at the top of the hill on the level of the living rooms and sleeping porches...
...Smith Reader generously demonstrates, the columnist preferred to write about athletes with a touch of the rogue. His portrait of Babe Ruth is a small masterpiece. It ends with two Yankee teammates, Waite Hoyt and Joe Dugan, sitting together at Ruth's funeral on a sweltering day in 1948. "I'd give a hundred dollars for a cold beer," Dugan whispers.

Confesses Landers abjectly: "I am hooked on chocolate. I crave it, and nothing else will...
Chicago Sun-Times Columnist Mike Royko, 49, who owns Chicago, doesn't like what has gone up next door: Indiana. He recently called the state "the most miserable in the union," and its capital, Indianapolis, "the dullest large city in the U.S." Royko polled 1,000 of his readers on whether the U.S. should go to war if Argentina were to invade the Hoosier state. According to the columnist, 999 voted no; the sole holdout was undecided. Hoosiers hit back with a booster campaign of T shirts labeled ROYKO WHO? and ROYKO DOME-a swipe at his observation that...
