...Hiding the Nostrils. One of the most articulate enemies of this wallpaper architecture is the chairman of Yale Uni versity's Department of Architecture, Paul Rudolph, 44. "New York is full of cosmetic architecture," he says, "glass-sheathed, cellophane-like buildings which hide the actual structure and all the nostrils of the building-the ventilating systems. Packaging architecture in boxes is the main characteristic of most postwar building, and now there's a cry for honesty rather than cosmetics. I don't believe we can build large cities out of various-sized packages which are buildings...
Even the Communists no longer try to hide what Labor Minister Augusto Martinez Sanchez last week aptly called "truly a great mess." In a 31-hr. TV interview, Martinez Sanchez outlined eight new labor categories in which Cuba's 2,400,000 workers soon are to be frozen in a drive to get more work for less pay. To qualify for the maximum pay in each category, workers will have to fulfill new work norms based on productivity. Those who fall short face even further reductions in wages that are already as much as 50% lower than the days...

...highlands." Not so, retorted some of the U.S. officers who were taking part. "It would take a whole U.S. Army division to block that trail," said one. The clash of opinion extends to virtually every aspect of the frustrating, wearisome war in South Viet Nam-and reflects its shadowy, hide-and-seek nature. It is a war with no front lines and no decisive battles; a war of containment, not of conquest; a war of Lilliputian pinpricks and Brobdingnagian stakes. It is a day war and a night war, in which the government controls most highways and waterways by daylight...
