...queries: What will cities look like in the future? What innovations will there be; how will people live in the tall buildings? Two architect-prophets have recently published books* in which each essays to predict the future of the metropolis. Le Corbusier, a Swiss whose real name is Charles Edouard Jeanneret, famed in Paris for his revolutionary ideas and dicta on city-planning, tells didactically and illustrates exhaustively his version of the future. Hugh Ferriss, romantic U. S. draftsman of modernistic architectural elevations in black and white, illustrates his predictions with drawings which he calls "not entirely random shots...

Three years ago Edouard quarreled with Edouard. M. Herriot's luck had turned. He had lost in succession both his second Prime Ministry (TIME, Aug. 2, 1926) and the Presidency of the Chamber of Deputies. He was losing his grip on his party (Radical Socialist). Edouard Daladier saw his chance.
