...Paul Rudolph, another Gropius alumnus, designed a series of concrete block rectangles that turn the house's seaside exposure into a mammoth Mondrian. It is a straight place, but not all for show; the open-end geometry that ornaments the facade functions as a sunbreak and keeps the interior cool without cumbersome draperies. The house is built on seven levels that form a series of "living platforms," the lowest being a utility room, while the uppermost is a rooftop lookout-a modern version of the widow's walk. Rudolph, chairman of the department of architecture of Yale...

Medieval brass rubbings, a 16th century refectory table, and plenty of books lend visual warmth to the house.

If further evidence proves that the spots really do exist and are indeed caused...
Along with the other defendants-a former foreign minister and a leader of Nkrumah's ruling Convention People's Party-Adamafio was formally "discharged" by the court. But the trio was immediately bundled back into the cells. Interior Minister Kwaku Boateng cynically explained that their acquittal "was the sole responsibility of the judiciary, not of the government, which is therefore not bound to take any cognizance of it." They will remain in jail under a law that permits the government to detain any citizen for ten years without trial "in order to prevent him from acting...
