...mounted another threat in the ninth, when Hughes singled to left to open the frame. But when Tommy Harper bounced past Robinson at third, Belanger ranged almost as far Brookline Ave. to collect the ball then threw on to Grich for a force...
...news was not confined to the farm. Wholesale prices of industrial commodities rose 2.7% last month, the ninth straight month in which they have increased at a double-digit pace. The index for fuels climbed 5.3% in July alone. Almost all types of machinery became more expensive. Factory prices of automobiles went up 2%-and are continuing to climb: one day after the index was released, General Motors raised the factory prices of 1975 model cars and trucks by an average of $480 or 9.5%, nearly duplicating in a single stroke the $500 in price hikes that automakers posted...

Pei put his classically-oriented partner, Aldo Cussutta--who has since left the firm and moved upstairs from Pei's ninth floor domain at 600 Madison Ave.--as the head of the design team. Although Cussatta "quite typically began examining the potentials of this project in the broadest urban contexts," according to a March 1973 Architecture Plus article, and though the sprawling center was in perfect harmony with Pei's clients, the building's neighbors and the site's original occupants weren't too happy about leaving...
