...Occidental Petroleum, Boeing, ITT, Tenneco, Texas Eastern Transmission and dozens of others. But there are smaller, independent toilers in Eastern vineyards who so far have remained relatively obscure. Sometimes acting as middlemen for big deals, sometimes hunting up products and processes to sell on their own, these new Marco Polos have perhaps done more to expand the frontiers of East-West trade than the emissaries of giant corporations. Familiar with the workings of Sojuzchimexport, Stankoimport, and other mystifyingly complicated Soviet state enterprises, they have been putting together some of the most imaginative deals since William Henry Seward made Alaska...

...designers to free themselves from their traditional limbo, somewhere between architecture and interior decoration. More and more, design strives to be active: its tutelary gods are no longer Chippendale or the Bauhaus, but Buckminster Fuller, Marcuse and Ronald Laing. The thrust of designers like Ettore Sottsass, Gae Aulenti, Marco Zanuso and the "Archizoom" group is not to decorate the psychic space around us but to extend and question it. This means a critical approach to social patterns, which starts with the language of shape...
