West German architects are pitching a swooping, reinforced tent over the pavilion at right, while France's designers support the roof of their eccentric circle from extended vertical ribs. Most eye challenging of all is Israeli Architect Moshe Safdie's "Habitat," a visionary, multilevel village, complete with shops. Prefabricated, prestressed concrete cubes are equipped with kitchens, bathrooms, wiring, plumbing, insulation and windows made in an assembly-line plant on the site.

...hottest burlesque shows that ever hit Broadway. It had a grossly libidinous libretto snippeted out of the plays of Plautus, and lickerish leerics that read like Pompeian graffiti. Above all, it had a huge round Zero named Mostel, who wore a fingertip tunic the size of a pup tent and went tippety-skipping about the stage like a bull walrus in drag...
