...appearance. The siding boards on the upstream side give evidence of the last heavy attack by ice, in 1977; the lower ends of the boards, which were broken off, have been replaced, and are lighter in color. The sky shows through the dozens of small holes in the roof...
Though the Busch-Reisinger was tailor-made for large plaster casts--not for the collection of paintings and sculpture now housed there--it does provide the coherence of one roof over a single collection. It is important academically that the University maintain the integrity of the collection in transfering it to the Fogg. One of the criticisms of the Busch is that it has hosted fewer and fewer visitors in recent years. We trust that--under the relocation plan--that trickle of visitors will not become a gathering of dust in a basement of the Fogg...
...Association of Advertising Agencies. "They have added some strengths to each agency that they didn't have individually." But Omnicom has a worrisome growing pain: the refusal of some advertisers to deal with an agency that handles any archrival products. The merger of three agencies brought together under one roof many combinations of fiercely competitive consumer goods. Pillsbury, for example, which had cake and frosting accounts with Omnicom, withdrew $30 million in business because another branch of the combined agency represents Betty Crocker mixes...

The city originally estimated that the repair bill would total $9 million, but it eventually reached $12 million without a cube of ice to show for it. The roof of the pavilion, which houses the changing rooms and restaurant, was riddled with holes and made a perfect sieve.

The units were too big to fit through the building's doors, so Trump removed the roof, lowered the machinery inside, then replaced the roof. Trump, a man of expensive tastes, could not resist a luxurious touch: instead of using pine for the rest stands, as the city had planned, he chose polished teak...
