...songs, sings Four Days Gone with down home grit. It is a story song about a boy on the run from "government madness" who can't tell his name because he's "got reason to live." A tinny piano tinkles in the background while a steel guitar twangs out his lament, "I can't even go home. . . and my baby is awaitin'." The graceful admixture of rural blues and country-western sounds makes an admirable final testament to the band's Last Time Around...
Alexander Barbieri, common pleas court judge in Philadelphia, ordered the investigation last July after a young defendant told him that he had been repeatedly raped by prisoners while on his way to court in the sheriff's windowless steel van. More than 3,000 inmates were interviewed at the city's three penal institutions-the Philadelphia Detention Center, the House of Corrections and Holmesburg Prison. By conservative estimates, says the report, 2,000 assaults took place in the past two years. And once a man has been attacked, he is marked as a target for homosexual advances...
...establish the museum as a center for the enjoyment, not the interment, of art." To do this, he proposed to erase "the barrier between the work of art and the community" with a garden approach for the display of sculpture, plus a single, glass-curtained gallery built on a steel frame with freestanding interior walls. "The architectural space thus achieved," he concluded, "becomes defining rather than confining...
...giant podium of granite-covered concrete. The podium, or semi-basement, is occupied by the burgeoning permanent collection, but the upper gallery, designed for special exhibitions, dominates the museum. It is simplicity itself: a glass-curtained box with a 213-ft.-square roof upheld by only eight burnished-steel columns. Mies has carried out his concept with subtlety. The columns, for instance, are tapered ever so slightly toward the top-as are the Parthenon's classical Doric columns. Although the museum's 6-ft.-thick roof looks perfectly flat, it too is designed to deceive...
...tons of iron ore a year from the Mount Goldsworthy mine in western Australia. Utah is also developing six deposits of coking coal in Queensland that are among the world's biggest. Not surprisingly, all the ore and coal are so far committed to raw material-poor Japanese steel and chemical companies. One of Utah's favorite customers back home is U. S. Steel, for which the company supplies some 600,000 tons of ore annually from a mine in Cedar City. The mine is Utah's last major link with its native state and namesake...
