...tallest office building in the world built on the profits from hamburgers. But that is not all. When the executives of McDonald's Corp. abandoned their Chicago Loop offices for a new eight-story building in suburban Oak Brook, they also left behind their traditional concepts of office layout. As a result, McDonald's Oak Brook headquarters, opened last March, has a minimum of interior doors and walls, no offices in the usual sense, and what may well be the only waterbed in the world of big business...
...FINAL PROCESS is to correlate the first two types of evidence, and by doing so, further refine the chronological framework of the entire area under excavation. Every supervisor's study of his particular area is pooled to recognize the general layout and development of the whole site. The site is phased chronologically. This stage involves the most interpretation, and is left to professional supervisors. Evidence suggests theories and conclusions about historical occupation. Based on a complicated combination of topographical, documentary and archeological evidence, the findings and their interpretation are periodically prepared for publication. Biddle's seasonal reports have been...
...city's first church was dated, and remains the only Anglo-Saxon cathedral of first-rank importance about which anything conclusive is known. Biddle has been able to determine that the rectilinear layout of Winchester's Saxon streets did not follow the Roman street alignment. This suggests they were part of planned urban development, designed to reconstruct Winchester as a fortified burh, rather than the effect of casual growth. He concludes that late Saxon Winchester was larger and more densely occupied than the fifth-largest city in Roman Britain...
Things were not made easier by the layout of the station. The record library is at one end of the hall, and other records are kept in a footlocker at the other end of the hall. (The footlocker is euphemistically called the coffin. It's where records that are too good to be ripped off are kept.) When we received a request we would have to run to the record library, run to the coffin, and check the records we had brought. But after finding the record I couldn't just throw it on. Instead, the record...
Suggestions were also made on the physical layout of the field, which is 68 yds. wide (15 1/2 yds. wider than a football field and 3 yds. above the minimum requirements for soccer) and 116 yds, long (only 4 yds. below the maximum soccer standard). It seems that an artificial playing field has roughly the topography of a turtle back to promote drainage. With the practice game layout, goalies found themselves running uphill at a steep angle...
