...activism of young urban voters is nothing more than an élite phenomenon, and that this Indian election, like nearly every one that has preceded it, will be decided by the masses in India's villages, who vote for the candidate most likely to bring them bijli, pani, sadak - power, water and roads.

For his Santa Fe bandstand, done with Architect Mario Pani, he combined six hyperbolic paraboloids to form a 40-ft. cantilever of shelter. Candela has designed another bandstand that will soar...
There was talk of crisis in Mexico City last week. Architect Mario Pani and Engineers Héctor Maganda and Armando Oseli separately warned that the capital was sinking. Through thousands of wells, they said, subterranean water was being pumped out of the old dry lake bed on which the city stands. As a result, the whole city sank more than seven inches last year. The Palace of Fine Arts, already six feet lower than its original level, settled still more. Grades changed as Mexico City drank up its own footing...
