...sharp contrast is the new Wayland (Mass.) High School, a remarkable $2,360,000 layout (capacity: 850), due to open this month 16 miles from Boston. Designed by Walter Gropius's Architects Collaborative, Wayland is a modified "campus plan" of six separate buildings, organized according to subjects (arts, language, math and sciences, etc.). Each center has varying-sized rooms with movable walls-a big lecture hall, small seminar rooms, a "resource area" for individual projects. Equipment is lavish; the arts center has a theater and a TV studio...
...Negro fortuneteller named Maggie Morgan. Wax-wigged Maggie Morgan got a promise of $1,500 from Selby and a key to his house, arranged for an acquaintance of hers to work in the Selby home as a maid.

In his earlier book, Author Parkinson also bantered entertainingly on how to tell somebodies from nobodies at cocktail parties (the somebodies come late and shun walls), how institutions achieve perfection of layout just before collapsing, and how the deliberations of any finance committee "will be in inverse proportion to the sum involved." The Law and the Profits, well illustrated by Cartoonist Robert C. Osborn, is twice as long and half as funny. Grappling with the tax spiral and inane bureaucratic waste, the onetime...
...students walking in the Square. Only Widener's bulk and the graceful spire of Memorial Church broke the leafy roof of the Yard. Flying from Bedford to Cambridge and back takes only a few minutes, but it offers a delightful perspective on the University's architecture and layout--the bold patterns of Quincy and Leverett Towers, for example, and the pleasing sweep of the riverfront Houses...
