...annual report, Dean Ford says that the greatest crisis facing the Faculty is poor facilities for science teaching and research. "Our physical wants seem endless," he sighs. Radcliffe settles its labor dispute by agreeing to keep ex-nightwatchmen at their former salaries. Sheldon Diets and the Coop begin peace negotiations...
Minoru Yamasaki (TIME cover, Jan. 18, 1963), "should be an event, a fun thing." His new $32 million, 800-room Century Plaza Hotel, which opened last week in Los Angeles, is all of that and more. To begin with, there is the hotel's distinctive shape. To eliminate endless vistas down straight corridors, Yamasaki designed the hotel as a curved slab, 400 ft. long. In most new hotels, ballrooms, restaurants and shops are housed aboveground in a massive and ungainly block; Yamasaki placed them beneath notice, underground, along with a 1,000-car garage, so that the gracefully balconied...

These were first published separately in France some years ago. Both are typical, tidy iterations of an old Simenon thesis: escape in any real sense is impossible...
