...long reflecting pool surrounded by broad walkways for outdoor sculpture displays. But he had no desire to interrupt the two-mile vista that stretches from the Capitol past the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial-a vista Bunshaft considers "one of the greatest in all architecture." Instead, he has sunk the pool and sculpture area 7 ft. below the Mall level. So vast are distances in official Washington that the 7-ft. dip will appear, if at all, as the merest line across the grass...
...from the moment one of them gives their officer (Lee Marvin) a little lip and gets a fist in the mouth. We're for Marvin too: he's the one who puts the twelve convicts in fighting shape and communicates to them the we-row-together-or-we're-sunk notion.

Describing his work as "just straight selling of good food," Richards says he has made it clear to General Mills that "I would never...
Twice within a month-at the Las Vegas Tournament of Champions and at last week's Houston Champions International-Frank Beard, a bespectacled 28-year-old, has sunk a sizable putt on the 72nd green to beat Arnold Palmer for the winner's check. Considering that Palmer, at 37 and with $87,073 already in his till this year, is playing the best golf of his career, those two defeats are all the more remarkable because they were engineered by a virtual unknown who turned to golf because he was a failure at basketball...
