...scratch, wherever possible, by building "new towns"-completely planned communities that could support as many as 1,000,000 people apiece. Such new towns, says Architecture Critic Wolf Von Eckardt, are "our best hope of coming to grips with the problems of megalopolis."

During September's artillery exchange, they refrained from hitting the Suez oil refinery-rebuilt since Israeli artillery destroyed it last year-for fear of hitting Russian technicians. This time, the Israelis aimed their guns at the refinery anyway, setting fire to three oil storage tanks...
