...think TIME missed the point [Sept. 5] as did a small but vocal group of San Franciscans. The area of the site of the Transamerica building has been zoned for high-rise commercial development. Two such developments are already within the Portsmouth Corridor area, and because of the rising cost of land in the downtown financial district, others will follow. San Francisco can only grow in one direction, up. The question then is not whether, but what...
...most cogent objection is to the building's location in the heart of San Francisco's "Portsmouth corridor," natural valley between Telegraph Hill and the clustered towers of lower Market Street. The valley is covered with low structures that climb up Telegraph Hill, hugging its contours and accentuating San Francisco's natural rhythm of hills and valleys.

...Port Authority has proposed a 750-ft.-wide corridor from Miami to Naples, and highway planners are "dotting in" roads that would further upset the park's water cycle.

At a central point in the film he goes to visit his dying mother. As he lies to her about her health and bends over her bed, rays or light cross him like prison bars. That light should entrap is something almost inpermissible in our set of conventions; Bresson's use of it to convey...
...House restaurants have not seen a grape for months, while the Senate refectory has been using 15 lbs. to 20 lbs. a week. When one California Congressman sent large bags of grapes to each of his colleagues, many of the recipients returned them. Within a few hours, the corridor outside the Congressman's office was asquish with trod-upon fruit...
