...Though basically a rectangle, Rudolph's $4,000,000 factory presents a procession of profiles as the viewer walks around it. By externalizing what most architects bury within a building-staircases, heating pipes and air ducts-the architect has both opened the interior to freer use and the exterior to a greater play of light. A vast entrance stairway openly sweeps up to a mezzanine in baroque splendor, inviting visitors from a nearby parkway...
...case of the lunar landing that NASA is still planning for 1969, the scientists on the panel believe that the exterior of the returning spacecraft will probably be free of lunar microorganisms. A more likely carrier of moon contamination will be the lunar soil and rock that the astronauts are planning to bring back with them. More than 40 universities and other scientific institutions have already asked for samples of this fascinating material, but the panel thinks their pleas should be rejected.

Rising high in the center stands a bronze fountain, girdled beneath by the 22-ft.-long Scroll of Isaiah; the fountain sends a jet of water through an opening in the dome to baptize the exterior tile.

And in the last three mayoralty elections (the mayor is elected by the nine councillors), he has personally delivered the winning vote to his long-time personal friend, Edward A. Crane...
...there think of him? He got some idea 21 years ago when his neighbor in Scarsdale built a 6-ft. spite fence between their houses. Floyd had an even better notion. He built a fence between his face and the world. Ever since, he has paid his own personal exterior decorators $3,000 a year to camouflage his phiz whenever he mingles with the public. Decked out in a false nose, mustache and beard, Floyd certainly doesn't look like Floyd. Autograph hunters keep thinking he's Thelonious Monk...
