...acre. $30 million shopping center smack in the middle of town. Built without federal financial aid. Midtown is a self-contained complex made up by closing off a whole street, and shortening others and using the space to create a system of arcades and malls. Gruen has covered the sunlit mall with a handsomely structured louvered ceiling and has air-conditioned the whole area. Surrounding this central area are about 50 shops, a half-dozen restaurants, an 18-floor office building topped by a three-story, 78-room hotel, and a second hotel, the newly redecorated Manger...

...Jupiter's atmosphere. One result of the collisions might well be radio waves strong enough to be detected far off on the earth. Bright Target. Another result is probably an extremely bright aurora. No human has seen this spectacle because Jupiter always shows the earth an almost entirely sunlit face.

That bright target will illuminate the safest landing spot, the hole...

He felt the boy was "sissified," wanted him to play baseball, took a bitter delight in calling him "Miss Nancy...

Its two circular hotels, La Torre and the Duchi d'Aosta, rear out of the snow like overgrown silos; the Duchi guest rooms are reached by a continuous ramp around a sunlit core, something like Manhattan's Guggenheim Museum with chambermaids. Both La Torre and the Duchi d'Aosta are moderately priced inns; their sister hotel at Sestriere, the Principi di Piemonte, ranks high in Europe's catégorie luxe, is decorated with expensive taste and has rates...
