...characters are paper cutups, and the story line consists of anecdotal blackouts. Once the red-and-blue personality of Superman/Clark Kent (Bob Holiday) is crayoned in, he has no place to go but up; unfortunately, his numerous nights via an illusion-defying shiny steel wire give no perceptible lift to the evening...
This week workmen will hoist the final structural steel beam into place for Atlanta's 26-story Life Insurance Co. of Georgia building. Los Angeles will celebrate the similar "topping out" of its tallest building yet, the 42-story, $30 million Union Bank Square. In Manhattan, wreckers have just begun smashing a ramshackle clutch of century-old eyesores to make room for the world's highest skyscrapers, the twin 110-story 1,350-ft. structures of the Port of New York Authority's World Trade Center.* Boston's State Street Bank & Trust Co. is busy shifting...
...went 30 years without a new office building, but builders recently completed three at once. Pittsburgh's famous Golden Triangle will double its office space in the next 18 months, and demand is so strong that Builder John Galbreath has just lifted his plans for a new U.S. Steel office from 50 to 65 stories. Overbuilding has put a lid on further expansion in several cities including Denver, Akron, Kansas City and Dallas, but the proliferation of paper work and the economy's long expansion still feed demand elsewhere...
...research. For example, Burlington Industries, the largest of them all (1965 sales: $1.3 billion), sells thermal-lined draperies with a thin layer of acrylic that effectively absorbs cold drafts that sift in through window frames. Possible products now undergoing final tests in Burlington labs: a carpet woven with stainless steel filaments that will eliminate static electricity; a new drapery lining that by chemical action can control the amount of light filtering through it, with the result that more light will be allowed to enter a room on dark days...
...chief weakness lies in the nationalized 53% of Austrian industry: steel, aluminum, oil, chemicals, leather, paper and lumber, plus the deficit-burdened state railway. Hobbled by price control, high taxes to finance lavish welfare programs and a chronic lack of capital, both nationalized and private industry have been loath to expand into new product lines or even to modernize plants rebuilt after World War II with $1 billion of Marshall Plan aid. On top of that, much of private industry is fragmented into pint-sized firms-25% employ no more than 20 persons. Predictably, they turn out goods in small...
