...year loss of 600,000 jobs, from 1969 through 1976, the city gained 9,000 in the period from February 1977 to February 1978. The exodus by large corporations has slowed. Four years ago, whole buildings in prime Manhattan areas were empty. Now 1 million sq. ft. of floor space has been newly rented since January. Says Lewis Rudin of Manhattan's Rudin Management: "I counted up $1 billion-that's billion-of privately financed new construction the other day." He listed, among other projects, the $110 million AT&T headquarters at 55th and Madison...

The principal influence on Macke was French: the paintings of Delaunay, like A Window, 1912-13, which had been seen in Berlin in 1913. Its light-filled space, saturated with color-not the sober browns and grays of cubism, but the full radiance of the spectrum from high yellow through to ultramarine, with a vestigial slice of trusswork from the Eiffel Tower rising in the top third of the painting to remind one that this was a view of Paris...
