...double awards for his dramatic, clean-cut towers and town houses in Philadelphia's Society Hill (TIME, Nov. 6). He is rejuvenating 160 acres of Cleveland, is master planner with vast authority of a $200 million reconstruction project in Boston, has a say-so in the downtown redevelopments in Los Angeles, Oklahoma City, Providence and Columbus. Winning a Federal Aviation Agency commission, Pei has designed a universal trim, pentagonal control tower now being installed in at least 25 U.S. airports.

Grant's new centers sprawl over 31 acres of floor space. Woolworth is placing most of its new stores in downtown areas instead of suburbs because President Robert C. Kirkwood senses "a trend of rejuvenation in the center city." In declining fringe neighborhoods, Kresge has converted its old and unprofitable stores into small-inventory cut-rate stores that sell only limited lines-the fastest selling shades of paint, the most...
