Like all magic, the attraction of the great city is, in the end, beyond analysis and beyond definition. Marshall McLuhan and the late Frank Lloyd Wright may have been right in arguing that the city should be replaced by smaller communities. But men, alas and thank God, are never strictly practical. Until people are known by numbers alone, the great city will continue to exist. F. Scott Fitzgerald was speaking of Manhattan, but he might just as well have been talking of London or Paris-or Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon or Justinian's Constantinople. Looking at it from afar...
...that the Supreme Court has decreed an immediate end to racial segregation in Southern public schools, many white resisters have only one place left to turn: private white "segregation academies."

Analysis of the layers showed, for example, that the earth's last ice age began some 70,000 years ago and did not end until about 10,000 years ago. The investigators also made some long-range forecasts. Projecting the established weather pattern, they predicted that temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere will continue to drop for 25 years before a warming trend sets...
Penniless and stateless at the end of the war, Elmyr returned to Paris for some serious painting. In 1946, an English friend visited his studio and mistook one of his unsigned sketches for a Picasso. Fancying herself a bit of an expert, she offered to buy it. "Well, why not?" said Elmyr...
