...Moving agrees, points to Eero Saarinen's St. Louis Gateway Arch and the new Picasso in Chicago (TIME, Aug. 25) as evidence of the trend toward monumental sculpture. "We're slowly coming back," Hoving believes, "to sculpture as something to be interested in. It's part of the conversational environment. As more cities solve their problems, they will want to make things look better with sculpture." But if sculpture is going to take its rightful place in the modern cityscape, it will have to acquire for itself the very qualities of scale, materials, tools and technology that...
Tucked beneath the bluffs along the Mississippi on its Illinois shore, East St. Louis (pop. 80,000) is a squalid reach of crumbling brick buildings, battered frame shacks and sleazy taverns, redeemed only by a view of St. Louis' soaring Gateway Arch across the river.

Making this possible is Europoort's strategic location: five industrialized nations, with a total population of 168 million, are within 400 miles. Refined oil is loaded into trucks and rail cars, hauled inland by barge along the Rhine and Meuse rivers...

After exams he will report back to the Islanders, who have moved to Lakeland, Florida, but he hopes that will only be a way station before he moves...
...Bulls. Since before recorded history, Mesopotamia, "the land between the rivers," was the gateway between East and West; it was marched over, fought over, civilized and reduced to ashes by a dozen different peoples. The treasures contained in the Iraq Museum's five spacious, well-lit and air-conditioned buildings therefore trace an unequaled pageant of man's patient attempts to build and rebuild that ephemeral thing called civilization...
