...inside of the Chelmsford granite building has been drastically rebuilt on several occasions and only a small part of the original finish remains. The dining rooms and two kitchens included at the start are gone, leaving only the circular ports through which food was once passed from room to room. The one place in the building which still retains a solid Bulfinch flavor is the old second floor chapel, probably Harvard's most impressive room, now the setting for meetings of the Faculty and the Board of Overseers...
...what he left behind was more than a technical achievement; it was an enchanted world, half sophisticated, half childlike, of animals colored like toys in a nursery wonderland where pears could be bigger than cows. Marc commandeered nature's forms, transformed them as he saw fit, and then rebuilt nature any way he wanted...

Existing bombers have small talent for loitering; the big B-52s, backbone of the Strategic Air Command, can stay in the air little more than 20 hours. Even if drastically rebuilt with LFC wings, their flight time might increase at most to 33 hours. For really effective loitering, says Warner, an LFC missile platform should be designed from scratch. With economical new turboprop engines, the new plane would be able to stay in the air for three days, cruising almost anywhere...
