...only experimenting with new materials, but with new shapes and concepts (see cover story in MODERN LIVING). One of the most unusual new office buildings is Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Co.'s Hartford, Conn, headquarters, which is a two-sided, ship-shaped monolith. To shut out the roar of jets at Fort Worth's Carswell Air Force Base, builders are constructing a junior high school that will be entirely underground...

Women at a railway station, waiting for the merest glimpse of their menfolk, watch a troop train roar through at top speed, leaving behind an acre or so of stunned faces that say all there is to say about war's anguish at home. And Chukhrai pumps irony into a sequence that has Sasha posing for a photographer beside her drill press. She is alone, an unwed...
