...Superdome-the largest room ever built for human use-was plagued by engineering booboos (the foundations had to be rebuilt), planning oversights (costly changes had to be made because spectators in 2,500 of the seats in the original layout would have been unable to see the four main scoreboards) and two dozen lawsuits aimed at stopping construction altogether. The windowless building, sheathed in gold, anodized aluminum, boasts 75,000 sq. yds. of carpeting and contains 9,000 tons of computerized air conditioning and heating equipment; its energy costs are estimated at $1,752,000 a year. Its AstroTurf surface...

A stocky, plain-spoken journalist with a passion for fair reporting, Stillman rushed the Journal through present shock. He improved the layout, introduced four-color covers, hired a staff photographer whose job included investigative work, and stopped running the magazine as a presidential patsy. "But the No. 1 change," explained Stillman, "is that we place our emphasis on what is going on in the coal fields. Most unions report the news from...
Within the University, we must further improve the Gazette. We've revised the layout and made technical changes in typesetting, both designed to increase readability and cause creative controversy. We are improving distribution to junior faculty and students. (It's interesting to note that about 1300 persons pay $5 per year to have the Gazette delivered by mail...
