Signature Window. Breuer's problem began when he was handed a small corner plot only 104 ft. by 125 ft. To create within five stories a total floor space seven times as great as the site, he proceeded much like a Sardinian baker, who, with every piece of dough he subtracts, adds it back some place else in the loaf. Thus to compensate for space lost by the indoor-outdoor sculpture garden and the host of first-floor functional requirements, from coat racks and publications desk to unloading platforms, Breuer designed cantilevered upper floors to produce progressively larger galleries...
...wasn't as if Dad couldn't spare the dough. Oil Billionaire J. Paul Getty, 73, might have settled the matter out of his petty-cash box if he chose. But Gordon Getty, 32, a real estate investor, composer, poet and the youngest of his four living sons, felt compelled to file what he called "a friendly suit" against the old man, asking San Francisco's Superior Court to award him $7,000,000 as his share of the stock dividends accumulated by a trust fund that J.

She attended New York public schools, a Tarrytown, N.Y., boarding school called Highland Manor, and graduated from New York City's Julia Richman High School. She began modeling when she was twelve, "to make a little dough," and had graced the cover of Harper's Bazaar by the time she went to Hollywood at 18. In her very first film, To Have and Have Not (1945), she added a classic come-on line to U.S. cinema legend, and anyone who heard her utter it the first...
...first seven books, which average first-graders will complete in a school year, they learn roughly 375 words by sounding them out, often using clues offered by simple cartoon-like drawings. None of the words involve a phonetic conflict, such as the long o sound in doe, dough...
