More to Come. This year, half a dozen major buildings were completed in downtown Chicago, including the 41-story, marble-faced home office of the United Insurance Co. of America and a $10 million, 600-room addition to the Sheraton-Chicago Hotel. Now abuilding are another half-dozen handsome structures ranging from an eight-story headquarters for the American College of Surgeons to the 17-story headquarters of the United States Gypsum...

But in the Preminger movie, he will play a reticent, somnolent solon from Arkansas-a formidable frustration to a man who once described himself as a "veritable peripatetic bifurcated volcano of language...
