Thinking in the United States has been that a shopping center is a shopping center, even if it looks like a maze of neon signs set in a huge field of asphalt. When Simon proposed that two-and three-story buildings, with commercial space and living units, would look better, and sell better, the response was skeptical.

...this week's program, for example, Co-Producers Burton Benjamin and Isaac Kleinerman, both nine-year veterans of CBS's distinguished series, The 20th Century, set out to make some documentary sense of the maze of recent discoveries in genetics. An explanation of man's increasing control over the mechanics of reproduction is backed up by films of parthenogenetic frogs swimming in a tank. They are identical to their mother, and so might they be, having been made in a laboratory without benefit of father...
