...until then a strong supporter of the Aliston BRA project - said that he had "recommended to the Boston Redevelopment Authority that it re-open the question of the best use of the six-acre tract after it has been cleared and that it reconsider as well the method of selecting a developer." (Italics supplied.) He continued that the recently enacted Housing Act of 1965 "makes it possible to achieve lower rents than were possible when the project was first planned." He proposed a blue-ribbon committee be selected to evaluate the best use of the land and select a project...
...dream was nine years abuilding. The site, across from King Baudouin's royal palace, was select but far too small. To make room, 17 lots had to be bought, including one occupied by a new office building. Lambert agreed with city planners that the new palazzo should meld with the old-world architecture of the Palais Royale-yet he wanted a contemporary design. Finally, recalling his delight at seeing Manhattan's Lever House in 1952, the Yale-educated baron chose the U.S. firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, whose partner in charge of design, Gordon Bunshaft, revolutionized...

"It's not just a question of having no excellent voices in the company; most of the voices are not passable, the lyrics rarely intelligible. One song is bad enough that the singing must have been intentionally off-key; this is wrong--it makes it impossible to understand the lyrics...
...party president. Under party rules, the president cannot succeed himself after his two-year term is up, but the current president, muscular, mustachioed Kumaraswami Kamaraj Nadar, 62, is a close political ally of Shastri. Looking ahead to the 1967 elections, Shastri wanted someone atop the party machinery to select pro-Shastri candidates for the next parliamentary slate. Shyly but firmly, Shastri let it be known that anyone who wanted to change the party rules and permit Kamaraj to succeed himself would not meet with his disfavor...
