...solution at Tokyo is a radical blend of both. Over the central gallery he raised a huge, tentlike, triangular skylight, glassed on its north side. The smaller galleries have long, rectangular skylights. And to illuminate the dark corners, spotlights are set into the ceilings. Some Japanese critics complain that walking through the building ''gives one a very mixed feeling, like a repetitive alternation of night and day." More spotlights should level out the effect...

Unable to understand why the world is not willing to let bygones be bygones, the Japanese complain that they are not treated as equals, like the Germans, whose war guilt, they argue, was at least as great as their...

But the Government's report also pointed out that over the last ten years steel has not done as well as other industries, and steel companies complain that their present good showing is largely the result of stockpiling in anticipation of a strike. Their big argument is that profits are not even enough to pay for expansion and modernization; U.S. Steel alone has borrowed $600 million for its expansion program in the last five years. It is largely...
