...mile corridor from downtown Los Angeles to the U.C.L.A. campus is filling with office towers. Although San Francisco has added over 3,000,000 ft. of downtown office space in three years, the big new John Hancock and International buildings opened with 100% occupancy. Detroit went 30 years without a new office building, but builders recently completed three at once.

Learning by trial and error, he made his clients sit for as many as 900 hours while he perfected their portraits. Rates were strictly by size: "Whole lengths 40 guineas, half lengths 20, ¼ pieces or busts...
...biggest vote of confidence from two Chicago companies. The First National Bank of Chicago, which is about to start construction on a 60-story structure in the shape of a curved, inverted V, plans to use a similar system to heat the entire building. Last month, the John Hancock Insurance Co. announced that the 34 floors of office space in its planned 100-story, combination office-apartment building (TIME, April 2) will also be heated with light...
