...partisans reply that the bedridden prefer a supine view of blue sky, birds and stars. All that the hospital must do to grow is go to sea, expanding, said the architect, "like an open hand." There is no façade or front door: ambulance boats can dock conveniently under the hospital at gondola ports. As much an adaptation of the Swiss lake villages, which Swiss-born Corbu knows well, as a ducal palace or a gondola garage, the design should please Venetians. Yet, however harmonious this adventuring architecture, there is still much bureaucratic approval to survive. San Giobbe hospital...
Only eleven airlines fly the 285,000 miles of U.S. trunk routes, and seven American steamship lines dock in U.S. ports. By contrast, nearly 100 railroads -the greatest conglomeration anywhere in the world-compete unevenly over 214,000 miles of Class I track, both among themselves and with a growing number of trucks, buses, automobiles and barges. The result is massive inefficiency and chronic headaches for the U.S. railroad industry, which has failed to keep pace with the vast changes in public transportation...

Snuffling in handkerchiefs, their stringy hair drawn back in buns, the 14 hefty women huddled in the dock looked more like a woebegone Kaffeeklatsch of housewives than a team of killers for the Nazi cause. They were criminals all the same, maintained Munich State Attorney Manfred Bode, and they were charged with more than 800 deaths. Between 1942 and 1945, these 14 "angels of death" had worked as nurses at the Obrawalde insane asylum in Brandenburg, where, under Adolf Hitler's "euthanasia" program, more than 8,000 physical and mental "defectives" were put to death...
