...branch library and a cultural center, in large part through the efforts of Mrs. Richard Daley, widow of the mayor. Though its vast mosaic-lined entrance halls and twin marble staircases leave little room for a functional library, the interior has been restored in all its original quattrocento palazzo splendor at a cost of $12 million. Architect Gerrard Pook of the 99-year-old firm of Holabird & Root points out that a new central library with the necessary 300,000 sq. ft. could have been built for the same price, but many Chicagoans feel that the A.I.A. award-winning restoration...
...early spring tourists who went to see Rome's magnificent Renaissance landmark last week got a shock: the exquisite Piazza del Campidoglio was blocked off and obscured by police barricades and scaffolding. Blast damage showed on the graceful columns, and the main portal of the Palazzo Senatorio, Rome's city hall, was wrecked. Surveying the desecration of the work of the Eternal City's greatest artist, a shopkeeper snarled: "These terrorists are maniacs! What did Michelangelo ever do to them...

"One of the finest scenes in the world is Lower Manhattan beheld from the Staten Island ferry in early morning, when even ghastly buildings like those of the World Trade Center look good." Hughes lives happily in a 2,300-sq.-ft. loft-his "plywood palazzo"-but, when pressed, he picks the man to design his dream house: New York's Richard Meier, whose work he analyzes in this week's story. And Hughes would have Cover Subject Philip Johnson whip up a "gazebo-cum-study...
...refined, largely because it has stayed close to its rural roots. When Marcella Hazan published The Classic Italian Cook Book in 1976, it was considered the definitive opus. Her sequel, More Classic Italian Cooking (Knopf; 496 pages; $15), is as valuable as its predecessor. Scooping up irresistible formulations from palazzo, trattoria and country cottage, she makes available for the home cook another whole array of la buo-na cucina. Kazan's recipes for veal, in all its luscious Latin variations, are worth a book unto themselves. It so happens that Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey of the New York...
