Eschewing modern or mechanistic design, Architect Iofan drew a Romanesque pyramid of six fluted, concentric cylinders which together form a pedestal for a 260-ft. statue of Nicolai Lenin, with his face turned to his own tomb on the Red Square. Steps 492 ft. wide lead from the street up to a colonnaded arcade opening into the amphitheatres with back-to-back stages. The larger, which will be decorated with a mammoth panorama of the Revolution, seats 20,000; the smaller 6,000. Escalators go up to a library which will hold 500,000 books, a maze of museums, foyers...
When the Palace plans reached the U. S. last week Sculptor William Zorach let out a cry of protest, charging that the Soviets had stolen an idea submitted by him for a Lenin memorial in Leningrad. Zorach, too, drew concentric cylinders but they represented a base for a shaft that telescoped into a streamlined statue of Lenin. Picking words that would sting most he declared of Iofan's work: "It goes back to the most decadent pseudo-Roman development, the sort of thing old kings and old queens loved, a sort of tremendous wedding cake . . . incorporating the worst archaic...

...undertaken to cheat me. I will not site you, for law takes too long. I "will ruin you. Sincerely yours, Cornelius Vanderbilt. On his deathbed he refused the bottle of champagne prescribed by the doctor, stingily demanded, ''Won't sody-water do instead?" Psalm-singing Daniel Drew, credited with inventing "watered stock" (cattle made artificially thirsty, then, to increase their weight, given all the water they could drink just before being sold), had other tricks up his sleeve. One of them: "Old Daniel pulled out his proverbial red bandanna handkerchief to mop his brow before sitting down...
Quietly into North Tarrytown, N. Y.'s trim Phillipse Manor station at 10 a. m. an electric locomotive drew a baggage car and one compartment Pullman named Glencliff. Two detectives cleared the platform of all save ticketholders. At 11 a. m. five automobiles, one resembling an ambulance, rolled up in single file. From four of them stepped 24 servants. They opened up the ambulance and lifted out not 94-year-old John Davison Rockefeller St., as bystanders expected, but the first of 115 pieces of luggage. Few minutes later Mr. Rockefeller, well-bundled in wraps and ear muffs...
