...spheres. In other areas, what they call "structural separation" persists. According to a theory first propounded by Sociologist Ruby Jo Reeves Kennedy, the U.S. is really a "triple melting pot," with the true cohesion growing within religious groups. An Irish Catholic is more likely to marry another Catholic (Polish, German or Italian) than a Protestant; similarly, a Protestant Swede tends to marry another Protestant (Finn, Dutch, Scotch, English). In religion and in social relations, minorities still resist amalgamation, although even here the lines are not nearly as sharply drawn as they once were. Besides, the separation is largely voluntary...
...process is going on all over. Says Ohio's State Senator Michael J. Maloney of Cincinnati: "It's hard any more in Cincinnati to locate ethnic areas, the Italians and Germans in particular, and the Irish too. You don't have the enclaves that used to exist, like the over-the-Rhine area across the canal." Once, south St. Louis was as German as Berlin, studded with beer gardens.

West German architects are pitching a swooping, reinforced tent over the pavilion at right, while France's designers support the roof of their eccentric circle from extended vertical ribs. Most eye challenging of all is Israeli Architect Moshe Safdie's "Habitat," a visionary, multilevel village, complete with shops. Prefabricated, prestressed concrete cubes are equipped with kitchens, bathrooms, wiring, plumbing, insulation and windows made in an assembly-line plant on the site. Then the units, averaging 80 tons apiece, are crane-hoisted into position like gargantuan building blocks. When the project...
