...cherubic face, easy grin and mild-mannered, professorial air still conceal his intellect from casual acquaintances. But a discussion of opera-or early Bing Crosby-will set him off, as will any mention of Augustine, Nixon, Sophocles or the Baltimore Colts. With his wife and three children, he is quite happily settled in a modest home in a Baltimore suburb built largely to the postwar specifications of G.I. loans...

If fairness is your doctrine, you might mention the long hours put in by our executives; the patient humor and heroic efforts of pur ticket agents, operations and reservations staffs who have lived through this six-month nightmare-that is the real story...

At Co-Op City, state and city governments helped with a long-term 90% mortgage at a low interest rate, a municipal real-estate-tax exemption, and investment in schools, and other capital improvements. Total assistance over 40 years, reckons Architectural Critic Walter McQuade in Architectural Forum, will...
