Architect Goldberg's most daring stroke was to raise all the 896 projected apartments well above city noise and dust, while providing garage space underneath for each family. His next best stroke: balconies for every apartment, overlooking the daytime and nighttime splendors of Chicago as if from a magic carpet. Rents, surprisingly enough, will start at a modest $115 a month...
Corner on the Pooch Market. The main themes of Ko are, as its dust jacket states, "baseball, neurosis, art and death; travel, weather, self-realization and power; love, error, prophesy, destruction and pleasure." Among the characters who reel through the commotion of Koch's jouncing, rhymed octaves (following the rhythm of Byron's Don Juan) are Ko, a young Japanese pitcher who earns a tryout with the Dodgers and throws with such force that he shatters grandstands: Dog Boss, a financier who has cornered the pooch market; Amaranth, the king of England; a nameless but enchanted fish...

His adventure ended when he mistook his foot throttle for the brake, piled into the Alt Heidelberg beer hall with his front bumper nosed squarely up to the bar, stepped out with minor bruises. The dust had no sooner settled than the air was filled with political gags. Quipped Bonn's Mayor Wilhelm Daniels, an Adenauer supporter: "I know that Carlo Schmid does not particularly like Bonn, but this is no reason for wrecking our beer halls...
