On two sides were seats. "We spent four hours with the Red Army in the field- that was all," recalls Observer Houghton. "The wounded dragged...
Carpenters, painters, plasterers were making an unholy din in Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art last week. With deeply furrowed brow, Director Alfred H.

Earthquakes and glass flowers apparently never caused much concern among the architects of the University Museum. The massive horizontal timbers which support the several floors are not firmly attached to the walls. Instead, each end of the beam rests in an iron sling which is in turn suspended from a stout "bracketlike" bar, anchored in the wall masonry. All of which leaves the beam free to move in its supporting sling...
