...mostly in the first person, entirely without pretension and utterly without objectivity, by Windsor, who is something of a card. Windsor wears red Camel overalls and chain-chews Tums in between smoking Pall Malls, and the effect of his great heft is stunning: he looks like a denim- wrapped redwood that somebody potted in brogans. What is more, he has a tongue that could not be stilled if you placed it under a brick. "I always wanted me a paper," he was saying the other day, discarding a half-formed opinion that contemporary chickens have no personalities. "I looked into...
Music is a form of spiritual carbon dating. If one came of age in 1938, then Artie Shaw's version of Begin the Beguine might be the signature he went by, the sound that would date his soul like the exact ring on a redwood. A few years earlier, it might have been Hoagy Carmichael doing Stardust...
...Arena covers 765/2 acres and includes barracks, a post exchange and several other structures. Once manned by 200 Air Force personnel, the station is now run by 45 civilians.

Then he opened up a plastic bag and pinched out a sample of the crop that has made his fortune of nearly $1 million: marijuana...
...Neutra put it, "soul-refreshing" variations. His style and convictions were strong enough to adapt themselves to the residents, the climates and particularly the landscapes of his projects. The Nesbitt House in Los Angeles (1942), for instance, has a decidedly rustic ambience. The vigorous textures of rough brick and redwood board and batten predominate. The hard, angular lines of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs (1946) deliberately contrast with nature. The spindly steel columns, fragile-looking window walls and beams that poke freely into the air are a reinterpretation of classic Japanese architecture...
