Speaking at the First Parish Church in Cambridge yesterday, he said that with some exceptions, the businessmen have as yet offered no firm commitment...
Payne, who taught at the Graduate School of Design until 1963, spoke of the walkway web as "tame, non-aggressive" redevelopment, contrasting it with massive, "visionary" schemes such as those proposed by the Cambridge Redevelopment Authority and "Team Monad," a group of former GSD students...

He also urged his Starfighter pilots to "fly, fly, fly." Today, his men average 500 to 1,000 hours in the air instead of fewer than 200, the figure when he took over. As a result, Steinhoff now has enough confidence in the Starfighter and his pilots...
