HELP! The new ring on Ringo's finger puts him in double jeopardy from a couple of mad scientists and a band of Oriental cutthroats. The result is a wild spin cycle of sight gags and exotic locations. The Beatles really haven't much to do except romp along with the frantic action...
...uses the work of his own firm, The Architects' Collaborative, to illustrate the proposal. Thompson defines TAC's team style (as seen in the Geological Labs on Oxford St.) as "design for other humans than ourselves"--the opposite of "egotism and upstage-itis."

A baffled Jesuit philosopher says: "I feel like a bull in a ring. Sometimes he goes one way, and I try to follow him, and then he goes the other way. Cagey, amorphous personalities make me unhappy." Many Catholic progressives are now convinced that Paul has deliberately sided all along with the conservative Curia, and they openly resent it. Austrian Historian Friedrich Heer fumes at "this small, narrow-minded, petit bourgeois person...
