...home as well. At the $250 million Kansas City International, which was dedicated last month, Architects Kivett and Myers designed three almost circular terminals, with as many as 19 gates each, and laid out a fourth circle for future expansion. In effect, they are planned like the simplest (and oldest) airports, with planes on one side of the building, ticket counters practically on top of the gate and parking spaces at the front door. Instead of long hikes from curbside to plane-a quarter-mile is not unusual-the departing passenger drives to a parking lot close to his gate...

...Late George Apley, the curious masterpiece that has made critical appreciation of his work so difficult. The book is in the form of one of the posthumously written "memorials," privately printed, that were in vogue in the early part of the century. Horatio Willing, one of Apley's oldest friends and a clubmate at Harvard, writes a commentary on a chronology of letters written to and by George Apley.
