...trust manifests itself in even the seemingly most simple social interactions, such as two people passing each other. Several years ago I observed Erving Goffman walking through Barrows Hall on the University of California campus. He ran into another sociology professor who said, "Well, Erving, I haven't seen you in several years." To which Dr. Goffman replied, "It isn't my fault, David...
...aircraft were littered across the 41-acre deck. Cables dangled over the side, and the flattop's freshly painted grey hull was blackened and blistered.

They mark Co-Op City, a vast middle-income housing project for about 60,000 people, which is now rising over the desolate flats of northern New York City. Ringed by highways and anchored in mud, this group of apartment houses stands as both a prediction of huge vertical subdivisions yet to come and a warning of failures that can be avoided...
