Died. Welton Becket, 66, master architect whose clean, functional structures grace five continents; of congestive heart failure; in Los Angeles. Becket's eclectic approach lacked the individuality of a Mies van der Rohe or a Frank Lloyd Wright. "We are trying to solve the client's problems, and it is out of the solution of those problems that the design evolves," said Becket. And from his drawing board came buildings for ten of the U.S.'s top industrial firms, six of its leading banking houses and five of its largest insurance companies, as well as plans...
...single film can tell the whole story of an organization as stark as Sicily and as Byzantine as the stock market. Instead, The Brotherhood concentrates on the microcosmic death struggles of a single Mafioso family. Frank Ginetta (Kirk Douglas) is the son of a deceased "soldier" of Murder Inc. days. Like his father, Frank still kills in the same old way, ordering a stool pigeon shot in a New Jersey dump, then stuffing his mouth with a symbolic canary. But Frank's college-educated brother Vince (Alex Cord) has acquired new credit cards of identity...
...When Frank avenges his father by garroting an old killer (Luther Adler), the mob decides that he must die. Their choice of triggerman: Brother Vince.

All he can do is cloak himself in the traditional peasant armor: resignation...
...dance but twitched spasmodically on their way to the bar--once three or four of them went out into the street in the comforting warmth of the Florida night and danced deliberately. "You want to hear some good music--not all this crap," the girl barked, turning on Frank Sinatra, greeted by the others as if he were a Bob Dylan piercing the night like a prophet. "Cheri," "Spanish Eyes," a strikingly syncopated version of "Three Coins." Strange to tell it was the most beautiful music session I have experienced in a long time. The music became a ferocious whole...
...mean, they don't have something to say, like a message. Its not meaningful in an immediate sense the way something like "For What Its Worth" is. I'm moved by the lyrics the same way the lyrics to early Frank Sinatra, or a song like "Somethin Stupid" are moving. There is a specific situation, a load of information concerning the lives and motivations of the individuals who are being discussed--usually in the first person--in the songs. In Sinatra, the situations are very realistic--a man writing a letter to his wife who has left him, or something...
