...Sears Tower is more complicated than that. When the company decided to leave its sprawling old headquarters on Chicago's deteriorating West Side, height was the furthest thing from the executives' minds. They had bought a two-block plot on the western edge of Chicago's Loop and approached the problem of building the headquarters in exactly the same way as they planned any of Sears' stores throughout the world-from the inside...
...Sears Tower has already come under attack from critics who argue that it will add to the congestion of Chicago's Loop. It has also been criticized on aesthetic grounds, and is certainly a far cry from the conventional, slick, sheer-walled slab.

It will soon light Western Europe and may one day heat New York. Two thousand miles...
...never challenged and with an 18 for 20 exhibition from the line rebuffed Raynor's futile attempts to pull off a Dartmouth upset. The Crimson now possesses a 12-8 record, 5-3 in the Ivy League, while the Green is 4-15 overall and 2-6 in the loop...
