Betsy's 90-mile-wide eye passed over New Orleans, nearly half of which is below sea level. Canal dikes burst, sending cascades 8 ft. to 14 ft. deep through the streets. Army and National Guard amphibious craft cruised about picking up trapped householders from roofs and attics. One man paddled to safety girdled by an inner tube. Telephone service and power distribution blacked out. Scores of boats, from big freighters to cabin cruisers, ran aground or broke up. As the floods receded, they left a soggy jumble of ruined cars, fallen trees and utility lines, splintered glass...
Lady Bird's Must. Outdoor advertising is an obvious target for beautifiers. To oppose the billboard bills that Lyndon Johnson says he "must have for Lady Bird" is like supporting crime in the streets. Yet the major offense to the eye is the neon jungie of on-premise signs of used-car lots, drive-in restaurants and souvenir stands on the out skirts of most U.S. towns.

For Ernst's tall, reddish-brown Poet, topped by a sharp-beaked head with a hole for an eye, the glassworker at some stages had the equivalent of a 100-lb. weight at the end of his long metal blowpipe. Le Corbusier's amber Bucrane went through 26 failures, costing about 3,000,000 lire ($5,000) in workers' wages and shattered glass. As for André Verdet...
...with Burri-he is also a onetime medical student. But, as a grand poppa of op art, he and a group to which his son Yvaral belongs have pioneered the complete opposite of a concern for surface texture with high-key colors and razor-cut patterns that baffle the eye. Significantly in terms of São Paulo, two of his son's Paris-based Groupe are South Americans with whom Vasarely has great popularity...
