...tried to persuade her daughter to commit herself to a hospital for treatment. "She said I had no business telling her what to do and that I couldn't make her do anything," the mother said. The same day Seegrist donned Army combat fatigues, drove to a Springfield, Pa., mall and began firing at shoppers with a .22-cal. carbine. Before being disarmed by a graduate student who thought she was firing blanks, she shot ten people, killing a 2 1/2-year-old boy and a 64-year-old man. At her arraignment on murder charges, Seegrist was as defiant...
Customers like the megadealers because they generally offer lower prices and a staggering supply of cars. At Robert Ciasulli's 14-acre Arrow Auto Mall in Little Falls, N.J., shoppers can select from cars made by GM, Chrysler, AMC and Renault. The experience, though, may be disorienting for those accustomed to traditional showrooms. Some megadealers are like assembly lines.

Some events touch directly on politics: California State University at Long Beach will hold a seminar on the centenary...
Once a loud, murky place of grime and steam, like Monet's Gare SaintLazare, the cleaned-up St. Louis train shed has had a shopping mall and a new six- story hotel tucked inside. It is the architectural equivalent of the boat in the bottle, but the trick satisfies. The owners might have built a high- rise; fortunately, they deferred to the steel ceiling and let the architects, Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum, spread the new buildings out. Planes and walls jag fetchingly, as in real cities. Rounding a corner or descending a stair, / there are architectural surprises. Store names...
