...Krier shield sit two rows of four buildings of modest size: five stories, five apartments to a floor. The most extravagant is by Hans Hollein, a ((pink and blue and yellow and red)) box with broad, flaring eaves and lights embedded in column capitals -- the largest Memphis-style object ever constructed. The best of the lot is Aldo Rossi's low-key construction of red brick and yellow block. The colored bands recall Schinkel, the octagonal clerestory recalls Rossi's own floating Venetian theater, and the exposed I- beam "lintels" over the windows remind us that architecture is about construction...
...lurch from one knee-jerk reaction to communism to the next, we might best remember the Marshall Plan not as a bastion against the East, but as a foundation for the open development of the West. The broad strokes Secretary Marshall painted here four decades ago remain an object lesson in how to overcome the limits of ideology for a greater social good.

...average Radlcliffe girl is not prepared to take responsibility for her own behavior....Apparently, the opponents of change are more worried about Radcliffe's reputation than about the quality of its education.

Some of Vanderbyl's best work is found in a series of posters depicting postmodern architectural whimsies. He is wont to portray almost any three- dimensional object in gaily colored axonometric view, and the effect is a sort of jaunty rigor, Bauhaus on holiday. Another of Vanderbyl's fun-with- geometry motifs is a flurry of polychrome squiggles tossed onto a severe black or white field. In catalogs for Hickory Business Furniture, he has roughly scribbled in color over precise black-and-white photographs of chairs -- once again, antagonistic design impulses in playful coexistence...
