...fast-rising 118-ft. hill and 65-acre lake-artfully built on garbage fill. One form of pollution could even enhance-rather than spoil-water sports. Much of the nation's coastline is too cold for swimming; if marine life can be protected, why not use nuclear plant heat to warm the water? Or even create underwater national parks for scuba campers...
...Pioneers of Modern Design, relegated Gaudi to two footnotes in the appendix. Eight years later, Pevsner recanted, saying, "He is the only genius produced by art-nouveau." Gaudi, who urged that "we must not imitate or reproduce Gothic but continue it," based his studies on Catalan architecture and plant forms in nature. The results, scholars now recognize, intuitively anticipated many of today's shell structures, including the asymmetric churches by Mexico's Félix Candela...
...such low-pay spots as Hong Kong and Mexico. Foreign countries have grabbed half of the domestic movie-camera market, and all but two U.S. manufacturers (Kodak and Bell & Howell) have dropped out of the picture. Cummins now sells most of the diesel-engine output of its British plant in the U.S., while all of RCA's tape recorders and 80% of General Electric loudspeakers are made in Japan. Other advantages of U.S. industry are gradually fading. The growth of the Common Market, for example, gives the world another region where economies of size are possible. To make matters...
...Britten-Norman Ltd. seems almost an anachronism. The airstrip at the company's plant near the resort town of Bembridge on Britain's Isle of Wight is nothing but a sod runway. The one plane that Britten-Norman builds carries ten people in a fuselage that even its designers admit is "just an aluminum rack." It has a high, slablike wing and a top speed of only 168 m.p.h. Yet low and slow as it flies, the Britten-Norman (BN-2) Islander, as it is called, has proved to be a soaring success...
Then Mayor Charles B. Ryan hurried to Washington to complain about "a rigged deal." But the more inevitable the closing looked, the more Springfield merchants discussed alternatives. They organized a 17-man Armory Planning Committee, ordered private surveys of the 97-acre plant in addition to accepting a $30,000 Government grant for feasibility studies. And they tapped personal contacts. Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Chairman Leland Kalmbach talked to a golfing partner, General Electric Vice President Jack Parker, and got a G.E. commitment to move some of its armament operations to Springfield. Now G.E. has leased the armory shops, hired...
