...enormous. Kahn was primarily concerned with principles of order and light. His work featured the use of stark, geometric shapes and an emphasis on natural light and the moods created by it. He also incorporated such traditionally concealed "servant" elements as ducts, pipes and storage space into visible design. Slight and white-haired, with a poetic regard for his materials ("A brick is happy when it is an arch"), Kahn was best known for the Salk Institute complex in La Jolla, Calif., and for his recently completed Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth. He also designed the capital buildings...
...drop hundreds of unprofitable flights, and have been allowed to raise fares 5% to help cover higher costs. Last week the CAB put the finishing touch on that pleasant scenario: it ordered its long-awaited restructuring of fares, but the net effect for most lines should be a slight gain in revenue...
...desire to achieve even slight economic gains, however, has hindered efforts to mobilize Cambridge's Portuguese workers. While the Congress of the Portuguese in America (sponsored by COPA and held at Harvard last spring) could declare that "because the immigrants in their homelands are accustomed to the absence of decision-making power in their places of employment, the helpless situation of the worker is perpetuated in the United States [and that] it is necessary to arouse the consciousness of the workers," grass roots efforts in organizing Cambridge's Portuguese have yielded little response...

This facet of the play's message,' if taken seriously, would probably make almost anyone writhe." "If taken seriously." Surely there was no danger of that...

An industrial-diamond-in-the-rough, Yablans, 38, orders the world around like a drill sergeant and employs a primal scream as casually as most people sneeze. The slight, agile Evans, 43, given to longpoint collars and cashmere sweaters, projects a kind of artless charm and wide-eyed aestheticism. But he is as obsessive about what he wants and is credited with being the figure who has, in show-business parlance, turned Paramount around. He runs day-to-day production...
