Karl Deutsch is now at the peak of his career. His spacious second floor office in Littauer Center is lined with books about subjects he pioneered, and boxes and file cabinets store his countless articles and essays. His secretary handles his correspondence, including innumerable invitations to participate in professional conferences. There are more requests for his time than he can handle in a working day, and yet he always tries to find time for everybody. He is currently completing a three-year term as president of the International Political Science Association, and he is a past president of the American...
...spaceship, and living quarters are as cramped as they were for Captain Bligh's midshipmen. Says a California boatwife: "When you cook corned beef and cabbage, everything you wear next day smells like corned beef and cabbage." Miamian Tom Dixon, 35, who inhabits a relatively spacious 45-ft. catamaran houseboat he designed and built, notes that his 360-sq.-ft. living area is the equivalent of a one-car garage. Even at a dock, high winds and storms can make a boat dweller feel as if he were inside a Cuisinart...
...architects' models for the station, perhaps the best parts of the exhibit, illustrate the difficulties of creating a spacious feeling in facilities which are usually claustrophobic.

Although Wainwright's compositions of oblong chrome and reflecting prisms would be great in Boston-Boston, one wonders what they'll add to the station. Carolos Dorrien's granite wall piece stands nearby...
...sights: a gram elevator and loading dock that the Chinese specifically asked to see, a container loading dock and the Lockheed shipyard. In the afternoon, Teng was to visit the Boeing plant in Everett 30 miles north of Seattle. There, on the floor of the world's most spacious building (200 million cu. ft.), are eleven Boeing 747s in various stages of construction. After dinner with executives of five firms that do business with China (Dungeness crabs, oysters, and at Teng's request filet mignon) and a night's rest, Teng and his party would board their...
...sharp-toothed profile of life in the U.S. in the past decade and a half from the works of Sam Shepard. His theme is betrayal, not so much of the American dream as of the inner health of the nation. He focuses on that point at which the spacious skies turned ominous with clouds of dread, and the amber waves of grain withered in industrial blight and moral...
