...routes and the subway system-the city's bone structure. The guide duly describes and portrays such Philadelphia splendors as Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed, the old residential area of Society Hill, the Beaux Arts vistas of Ben Franklin Parkway. But the authors always remind the reader that there is a lot of ordinary, gritty urban landscape between such touristic highlights, and that these gaps-not the landmarks alone-give the city its texture, content and life. They thus unabashedly show Philadelphia's dilapidated docks, bleak slums, traffic jams and ubiquitous graffiti-the real...

Its resemblance to a factory is unmistakable; the stepped-back levels each free from columns remind one of convenient locations for assembly lines: the complicated trussing system evokes association of supports for heavy machinery.

McGovern, for example, has backed away from his proposal to give every American $1,000 as part of a program to redistribute income, but Republicans intend to remind middle-class voters how heavily they would have been taxed under that abandoned scheme. In case any campaign workers are unaware of the McGovern record, they will be able to consult a handy reference guide covering the Democratic nominee's positions on everything from amnesty to women.
