...Central area. But New Yorkers' basic objections were esthetic, though few people exactly articulated this, or could have if they tried. A certain esthetic pleasure used to come from the sight of the Grand Central complex-from the north, a stubby tower with a clock at its architectural nave; from the south, a Beaux Arts Eclectic facade crowned by monumental sculpture that nobody studied but everybody remembered. From either side, it was an ornamental point in the city's stark grid, a recognizable feature amidst its towering but all-too-featureless walls. But five years...
...drive-in congregations are Schuller's Garden Grove Community Church (designed by Richard Neutra) and the glass-walled Trinity Reformed Church in Kent, Wash., which will accommodate up to 300 people in cars parked outside.

The transepts have been modernized in the new plans, and will be made from granite-faced concrete rather than from expensive cut stone...

The Lowell House Music Society's production at St. Paul's Catholic Church is replete with processionals, swinging censers, and echoing trumpets. Backed by the cavernous marble nave, the play is infused with a sense of the ancient and the divine. Although the beautiful voice and lovely, archaic music are enough to make the program a success, there are faults in the production which detract seriously from its overall effect...
