...most ambitious project under construction is the $36 million Marina City, which is rising into the sky alongside the Chicago River. Built around two eyecatching, 65-story cylinders, the multipurpose development will have 896 medium-rent apartments, plus a 16-story office building, a 1,700-seat theater, a 1,000-car garage, boat dock, swimming pool, ice rink and even a sculpture garden...
Improbably Popular. Cashing in on the boating boom, Texas developers last week formally opened a huge fresh water marina on Lake Texoma, a 95-mile-long finger-shaped artificial lake north of Dallas that has 1,250 miles of shoreline. The all-steel, $1,600,000 Eisenhower Marina now has 400 slips finished, will soon have 200 more available. Monthly slip rental is $1.25 per boat foot. The developers look to a total of 2,000 slips in the marina, a conservative figure since the lake already has 8,400 boats registered, with another 8,000 hauled in on trailers...
...other Texas boatmen are never threatened by such violence. So enticing is marina living that they never leave the slip all weekend long, as they sun on the boat deck, swim off the stern, and cook in the galley. To add to their comfort. Lake Texoma port authorities have come up with a novel, congenial, and undemanding way of fishing: the "Fisharena."

Diario, reputedly the oldest Spanish-language paper in the hemisphere, is dropped into Cuba two days after publication in a 12-in. by 6-in. packet, tightly folded so as to resist the wind. About 5.000 copies of the two-color, 20-24 page tabloid are sold in Miami; 2,500 go to Cuba by parachute and other means as the gift of Editor José Ignacio Rivero and the twelve-man staff who fled...
Cancer Sticks. The Trial Begins is classed as "socialist surrealism'' by the editors of Encounter, where it first appeared in English last January. The label is just. Part of the complex plot is focused on Marina, a Bolshy bitch who is married to Globov, a public prosecutor, and model of Soviet Russia's successful man; she is also probably the mistress of Karlinsky, the philosophizing public defender. Marina procures an abortion for no reason except that motherhood might spoil her figure. Mad with rage when his wife brutally tells him of this, Globov smashes everything in their...
