Children at Play. Aalto makes no secret of his views on the state of architecture. The endless repetition of glass squares and synthetic metals, he maintains, has become a dead-end street. "Grownup children play with curves and tensions they do not control," he snorts. "It smells of Hollywood. The human being becomes forgotten."

Ellegood, who worked at Oklahoma under Savoie Lottinville, was busy culling a list of some 350 manuscripts that includes something for everyone: biographies of Confederate generals, an eyewitness account of the 18th century Haitian revolution, the secrets of modern hurricane forecasting.

With Wife Esther, Son David, 22 (an engineering student at Michigan), and Daughter Martha, 18 (a freshman at Michigan State), he shares three boats, four Chevies (one for each member of the family) and five TV-sets (two in color), which Cole watches "only to see if I can sharpen up the Chevy commercials...
