Humble Brick. Nor has his sensuous joy in handling his sites and materials. Aalto's complex of buildings for the technical university at Otaniemi, with its mighty play of geometric masses, is also a hymn to the humble brick. In Seinajoki, he daringly faced the town hall with curved blue tiles that soften the structure's abrupt angles and change hue from blue to gray to black, depending on the light. In his recently opened North Jutland Museum of the Arts in Aalborg, Denmark, Aalto confronted the most difficult challenge in museum design: natural lighting. Most architects avoid...
Thomas Crooks had just edged into a pew, carefully placed a small brown paper bag on the seat beside him, and opened his hymn book to the morning's responsive reading.

News and Information Service, as the venture is called, originates from the old Monitor studio in Rockefeller Center and is fed live over telephone lines to subscribing stations for 50 minutes of every...
...edge of sanity, for instance, he kept running through his head a "private screening" of 13 Rue Madeleine, an interminable Jimmy Cagney spy movie. In his cell, he sang Don't Fence Me In, Mairzy Doats and the Marines' Hymn, and in every way used his dream of returning to America to keep his spirits up. There is an astonishing passage in the book describing how he began walking from one end of his cell to the other, counting each measured footstep as he imagined himself walk ing out of prison into the suburbs of Moscow, crossing into...
