More decisive for Jahn's development was a commission to design an addition to the Chicago Board of Trade Building, a 1930 premodern skyscraper by one of the pioneering firms of that style, Holabird & Root. "We were forced to study this old building carefully," says Jahn. "Holabird & Root opened our eyes. We saw that applying historic ornaments like gaudy wallpaper does nothing to relate a building to its older neighbors. History itself must be the generator of new forms...
...mayor. Though its vast mosaic-lined entrance halls and twin marble staircases leave little room for a functional library, the interior has been restored in all its original quattrocento palazzo splendor at a cost of $12 million. Architect Gerrard Pook of the 99-year-old firm of Holabird & Root points out that a new central library with the necessary 300,000 sq. ft. could have been built for the same price, but many Chicagoans feel that the A.I.A. award-winning restoration is at least partial atonement for the other great buildings they have lost...

I got it straight from the judge's chambers." Kalmbach picked up the phone and heard the news. His eyes filled with tears...
...Cope. Kalmbach and Dean caught the same flight to California, where Kalmbach remains a wealthy resident of Newport Beach, and Dean lives in Los Angeles. In the plane, Dean discussed his unique Watergate experience with TIME Correspondent Hays Gorey. Although the prison barracks at Fort Holabird are comfortable, and prisoners there can play tennis and cook their own meals, Dean found confinement psychologically destructive. "With professional criminals," he said, "incarceration is part of the overhead of doing business. They can cope." But he felt "helpless" in prison. "There's an unbelievable strain if you are independent by nature. Your...
