...Millionaire Stewart Mott, 38, describing his hopes to build the perfect Manhattan home. Begun three years ago atop the 54th floor of a new apartment building, the four-story penthouse was to include a solarium kitchen, a library, pool, four bedrooms, office space for up to seven secretaries, a multilevel grand salon and more than 1,500 sq. ft. of terrace for Mott's main passion: organic vegetable gardening. The fastest-growing item at Mott's midtown Xanadu, however, was the construction bill, which climbed from a projected $1.6 million to $3.2 million. So last week Mott sadly...
...away at surface rocks; at most, they would tunnel only a few dozen feet. The newly discovered mine shows that the Bronze Age miners were far more skilled and adventurous than that. Located at the base of towering, 2,200-ft. red sandstone cliffs, the mine contains a complex, multilevel network of some 200 shafts and galleries. Although only a small portion has been excavated so far by Rothenberg's team, which included ten West German coal miners, the maze apparently reaches hundreds of yards into the mountain. Perhaps 1,000 workmen-or slaves-toiled inside the tunnels, most...
...into Disney at nearly every twist of the discussion. And so, among culture critics-his traditional enemies-there has been a growth of very serious interest in Disney. As Peter Blake, editor of Architecture Plus, put it: "Walt Disney did not know that such things as vast urban infrastructures, multilevel mass-transit systems, People Movers, nonpolluting vehicles, pedestrian malls, and so forth were unattainable, and so he just went ahead and built them. In doing it he drew on all kinds of resources that no other city planner had ever before considered seriously, if at all... it seems unlikely that...
...Habitat uninhabited so long? Basically, because of initial mismanagement. Its multilevel apartments were filled with exhibitors and functionaries until Expo ended. Then for several months it stood tenantless, save for the architect and another family or two, as federal, provincial and local governments quarreled over who was to administer it. In February 1968, the federal government's Central Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) took it over, and a series of bungles began. Rents were pegged at exorbitant levels. Rumors spread about rat infestation and inadequate heat. Understandably, prospective tenants stayed away. Then CMHC cut rents-twice. People moved...
...absence of any statute against multilevel distributorships in most states, attorneys general have had to base their actions against Turner on infractions of the Fair Trade laws, franchise legislation or consumer-protection regulations -with some success. Beyond Iowa's action against Koscot, company officials have been fined and forced to make restitution to distributors in many other states. Koscot still has cases in abeyance or on appeal in New York, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, New Jersey, Connecticut and Wisconsin. Turner, who has hired Attorney F. Lee Bailey, has reached a truce with some states by agreeing...
