...immediacy, the shock wave of looting, arson and outrage that swept the nation's black ghettos after Martin Luther King's murder exceeded anything in the American experience. By week's end, 168 towns and cities had echoed to the crash of brick through window glass, the crackle of the incendiary's witch's torch, the scream of sirens and the anvil chorus of looters. Yet one sound was remarkable in its very diminuendo. The fierce fusillades of gunfire that exacerbated the disorders of years past were heard only rarely last week. And considering...
HemisFair's modest size does not mean that there is not plenty of room for fun. The 43-second ride up the side of the Tower of the Americas in a glass-fronted elevator is a guaranteed belly-grabber.

In his earlier plays, Williams would rip apart this Chekhovian mood music with staccato drum bursts of violence. But in recent years he has virtually abandoned violence without discovering a substitute. Drive has succumbed to drift...
...large scale. It is the developer and principal owner of a number of high-rise urban projects, including Los Angeles' Century City, Pittsburgh's Allegheny Center and Manhattan's United Nations Plaza and Lincoln Towers. It is no accident that such projects often feature aluminum-and-glass buildings, thus double as showcases for Alcoa's favorite metal...
