...them ought to be halted before it's too late. The University now seems likely to acquire the Bennett Street MTA yards and the threat of an orange-topped How-ard Johnson's being erected in our midst has been averted. What will rise in its stead, however, no prudent man can say. Seeing the practical jokes University architects have perpetrated in relatively cramped spaces, there is no way of imagining what they will do with twelve acres. Clearly, something must be done about Harvard's official artistic tastes before this construction begins...
Most wealthy Latin Americans have so far proved too provincial, too prudent or too suspicious to exploit the new common market trading area set up for them 17 months ago. But there is nothing provincial about Bruno Pagliai, a cosmopolitan tycoon who was reared in Italy, made (and lost) his first million in the U.S. and is now among Mexico's richest men. This week, in the biggest deal yet made within the nine-nation Latin American Free Trade Area, Pagliai, 60, loaded the first part of a $7,000,000 order of steel pipe for the Argentine PASA...
More than ever, the little church around the corner is not just a house of worship: besides a manse, it may have a parish hall, a two-acre parking lot, a parochial school, and a few prudent investments in apartment buildings and acreage near by.

Shopping the French way can be a long day's journey from the corner épicene, past sidewalk stalls to the butcher, the baker and the wine merchant. Small shopkeepers still do 85% of France's retail business, but the prudent, finicky and habitual French are rapidly succumbing to a thoroughly un-Gallic habit: one-stop shopping à l'Américaine. The pioneer and fastest-growing example of the trend is Prisunic (One-Price), the Continent's largest retail chain and a sort of bouillabaisse of the U.S. five-and-dime store, the discount house...
...first performed for a public of more than musical specialists at the 1955 festival in Aix-en-Provence. The critics from the newspapers of Marseille who had come up for the festival reviewed the work. In Rencontres avec Pierre Boulez, Antoine Golea remarks that the critics were "very prudent, as if walking on tip-toes." Probably much of the audience at Friday evening's concert of music by Boulez, Horatio Appleton Lamb Lecturer 1962-63, would have understood their prudence; for whether one reacts initially with enthusiasm or horror, he knows that, after one hearing or a dozen...
