...architecture might be like is shown by Rudolph's own IBM building in East Fishkill, N.Y., where the middle floor is devoted to machinery whose intake and exhaust hoods grow out from beneath the cantilevered top story like heavy eyelids. In other office buildings, Rudolph has let ductwork swarm like vines over the fa?ade, set his stairwells out from the walls like turrets. And in his soon-to-be-completed Creative Arts Center at Colgate University, he has tried an even more daring scheme: he has turned the building inside...
...alumni team includes a swarm of former Crimson captains and a couple of intercollegiate champions. Almost half the team hails from the pre-electric, pre-Ivy League days of Harvard fencing before 1955. Because two of the alumni foil men are unaccustomed to electric weapons, only conventional foils will be used. Epee will be electric. Judges will direct the sabre bouts as usual, since nobody has invented an efficient electric scoring system for sabre...
...works of the skeptical 18th century was this triumphant affirmation of Haydn's faith. Translated from the German and sung clearly in English, the oratorio will seem especially vivid to U.S. listeners because the music so closely fits the words. One hears the tawny lion roar, the insects swarm and the tiger leap for the first time on earth.

Outside the federal parliament building in Lagos, troops with fixed bayonets warned a swarm of curious small boys to "Go 'way, go 'way, this is no place for children today." In the lobby of the Ikoyi Hotel, scrubwomen used Dettol antiseptic to scour bloodstains off the marble floor. Throughout the capital city, telephones were mysteriously out of order. Alerting Nigeria to stay tuned for an important announcement, the government radio station canceled its regular programs, filled the time with music, 15 minutes of talking drums, a taped travelogue and a well-worn recorded sermon. The needle got stuck...
Netsch used the cold, durable materials of the city-concrete, granite, hard-surfaced brick-to build his university. Mindful that 28,500 students will soon swarm its halls, he barred automobiles from the campus in favor of elevated pedestrian expressways that connect the actual city outside with the academic core of the college. The crisp, die-straight expressways are bordered by stone bollards and giant chains. From the four points of the compass, these airborne paths lead to a 300-ft. by 450-ft. elevated slab, a great, raised court that has become the students' principal rendezvous...
