...forestalled any skyscraper-high structure by stipulating that total floor space in new buildings could not exceed 14 times the area of the site. Transamerica outsmarted them by assembling seven parcels into a 47,000 sq.ft. lot, and Architect William Pereira devised a tapering pyramidal shape that will soar 840 ft. into the sky without violating the required standards for setbacks and floor space. Some critics do not object to the needle itself. But they fear it would set a precedent for high-rise construction in the valley that could, in time, draw a curtain of glass and steel across...
Another Push. Statistics have dipped before-only to soar again when the Communists started new offensives. During the period between October 1968 and February 1969, U.S. casualties were relatively low and there was talk then, as today, of a lull. At the time, U.S. commanders warned that the Communists were preparing for another push. Indeed, the lull ended abruptly-and bloodily-with the Communist post-Tet offensive. This time, however, more seems to be involved. "This lull is not merely one of statistics, but more of gut feeling," reports TIME Correspondent Burton Pines from Saigon. "Some of the highest American...
...well played. The cellist distinguished himself with a beautiful, full, resonant opening and the ensemble played with much more rhythmic unity and dynamic cohesion. Walter Trampler was superb throughout the Dvorak. There was an evident feeling for the ebb and flow of the beautiful melodies, lines which sing and soar over the often complex texture of this magnificent quintet. The new quality in their playing was the ability to sustain an idea to its conclusion. The "Dumka" section, a long movement, was well controlled, well balanced and one's interest was held to the end. The contrast between the first...
...Chicago-by the management-consultant firm of McKinsey & Co. Because rocketing costs -most notably, sharply increased salary scales-have not been met by a similar gain in income, the orchestras' combined annual operating deficit rose from $2.9 million in 1964 to $5.7 million in 1968. The loss will soar to $8,000,000 by the 1971-72 season unless drastic steps are taken...
...glistening clear fiberglass half-box forms, whose intentionally sloppy casting endows them with a bubbly effervescence. Charles Ross's Plexiglas prisms are filled with mineral oil, so that museumgoers see other museumgoers distorted through them, edged in rainbow spectra. Even marble seems to soar, at least in Minoru Niizuma's vertical marble column entitled Windy Wind...
