...Similarly, the sculptures in this exhibition manage at once to personify music with their rhythmic compositions and to feast your eyes with more substantial fare--knotty wood with the nails and lumbermarks still showing. This self-conscious structure belies the seemingly organic and hence (you might have thought) unconscious "growth" of, say, the bud-like forms at the top of La Primavera. This is a tall square column, 9-10 feet tall with cut-out semi-circles of wood interlocked in a restrained yet powerful abstraction of spring. It seems like a plant about to blossom, with tremendous energy beneath...
...first institutions to recognize urban design as a separate curriculum. We are surprised to find, therefore, that urban design at the GSD is apparently regarded as something of a "step child," and that its continued existence as a separate program is in question. Surely, if there is a "growth area" in architecture today it is urban design, which is attaining increasing significance in the planning and landscape architecture professions as well...

...true dimension of Orland's plight becomes apparent in a walk through the fields with burly, gray-haired Robert McCombs. His quarter-mile-long slough for storage is empty. So is his well. His oats are stunted like a day's growth of beard on the dry fields. He sold off calving cows earlier this year because he could not water them. Paul Pehrson's 20 acres of orange trees are literally dying before his eyes. "It would take me ten to 15 years to get started again," he says. "I can't face starting...
