...performed interesting surgery on his face: cast him as a cab-driver, Chicago alderman, Irish cop, dart-champion in a workingman's pub, sly old convict; his face, like that of the late Everett Dirksen, told something of where he had been. Styron's face was a gentle mystery. Smooth for its forty-five years, it had of late come to look maybe a touch soft-trough so unblemished you wondered if his secret picture, like Dorian Gray's, bled and festered somewhere in the attic.

Another project for the State University of New York, this time for the Fredonia campus near Lake Erie, makes a totally different kind of impression Designed by I.M.

Together they form a group that remains unique in a highly imitative field...
...futuristic train is highly functional. As it quickly and quietly gathers speed, it will actually begin to "fly." The streamlined cars will hurtle forward just above the ground at speeds of 300 m.p.h. or more. For the 1,000 passengers on board, the trip will be strikingly smooth and vibrationless...
