...latest collection of movie reviews from Pauline Kael. Leonard's judgement may strike many as over-blown, or at least as a case of the pot calling the kettle sterling. But people gossip and debate more today about critics and commentators than about the events they cover. Brendan Gill cashed in on this new phenomenon with "Here at the New Yorker," as did Timothy Crouse with "Boys on the Bus." This summer, the scent of profit in this new field brings us a look at office politics at (it's come to this) The Village Voice...
...internecine politicking and back-stabbing. (See photo) Warren and the Burgers, and all that. But this weekend, my friend, you need only hop into your car (and I hope it's a microbus with drapes and carpeting in the back) and head on out to the 2001 Center in Gill, Mass. ("2001," we may suppose, is as good a reminder as any that the next century will have its sixties, too--only 94 more years!!) I don't even have to tell you who's going to be holding forth at this Saturday's "Rock Festival." You know. Country...

The New York Times, TIME, the British Broadcasting Corp. and CBS-TV also turned down the pledge. Said Richard Salant, president...
Friendly Structures. Like lemonade, the result tends to please almost everybody. Says Charles Gill, a planning official in San Francisco: "Tenants end up with larger spaces, bigger windows, higher ceilings and generally a more pleasant environment." The city benefits through increased property taxes; for example, since 1970, when Seattle developers started fixing up the Skid Road area of late 19th century buildings, property values in the 74-acre district have risen 450%. There is another fringe benefit: old buildings, unlike today's unvaried glass and steel boxes, are visual reminders of a city's individuality. "They are friendly...
