In places, the platform level serves as the roof covering for campus classrooms; in others, it shelters ground-level paths from rain, and adjacent outdoor parks, cobblestoned and furnished with old-fashioned fold-up lawn chairs, from wind. There, says Architect Netsch, students can bask and study in balmy weather, as if "loafing in Paris' Luxembourg Gardens...

The old libertarian appeals for the right of each worker to bargain alone with his employer have been replaced by new libertarian appeals for the right of average men to refuse to sell their houses to whom they please.
