...redevelopment of the waterfront area has been economically successful, although critics differ over its aesthetic appeal. The main cluster of new buildings is the $350 million Renaissance Center, consisting of five glass towers containing office space and topped by the spectacular Detroit Plaza Hotel. The center has helped the city raise its convention revenues from $56 million in 1970 to a projected $115 million this year. More than 90% of the center's office space is rented. Although the complex looks a bit like a mother ship from Star Wars?or perhaps because of the fact?visitors flock...
Only in its ceremonial trappings did Giscard's state visit differ from numerous earlier trips to West Germany for consultations with Schmidt. In fact "Lieber Helmut" and "Cher Valéry," as they call each other, meet at least six times a year and talk on the telephone about once a week. Their friendship, dating back to the early '70s, when both served as Finance Ministers, rests largely on shared views and temperaments. Both leaders are fiscal conservatives and political pragmatists. In addition, both men face tough re-election battles within the next ten months, leading some cynics...
...coherent understanding of Americans may lie in knowing that from the beginning they have kept two sets of books: their history and their myth.

The only discernible Fripp trademarks, some thickly textured synthesizer backgrounds, never cramp Hall's vitality. Fripp calls his electronic touches "Frippertronics," but the sounds they produce differ very little from other widely used synthesizers that simulate orchestral timbers. Fripp proudly displays his toy on his solo in "Urban Landscape," but the moment seems as impressive as watching smog roll in on Los Angeles. Fripp's guitar playing earns him much more credit...
...considering the Muskie appointment, we should not be diverted by whether Muskie will "stand up" to Zbigniew Brzezinski more effectively than did Vance. Even if he does, the consequences for policy are likely to be marginal. The question is whether he will assert views that differ significantly from the President's. The further question is whether the President would submit to his Secretary's views, should they differ markedly from his own. To both questions, the answer is probably...
