...town center. But to the planner, this seems a negation of the automobile's existence. And the Lake Anne center, with its yellow brick walls and walks and clay chimneys reflected in the lake looks too much like an Italian fishing village to belong in the age of plastics, steel, and pre-stressed concrete. To some urban designers, Reston appears to deny the visual, as well as the statistical facts of the twentieth century...
...achieved. I know the struggle you have had." MRA claims to have actively participated in those struggles. A full-page advertisement in the New York Times (10-11-59) credits the organization with settling the London dock strike of 1949, the airline strike of 1952, and the 55-day steel strike of 1952, as well as patching up internal union problems in Brazil, France, Germany, and Italy...

Yet the American policy of the past few weeks--the decisions to hit the steel mill in the North, to shell the North's coast, to lob artillery shells across the demilitarized zone--will have the effect of making peace more remote than ever. And the military tantrum which resulted from Johnson's recent bout of impatience with Ho will probably convince the North that future...
