AFTER FRIDAY night, Martin began to feel better, realizing that Jean was just a silly little bitch who would sooner or later learn a few things. By Wednesday, he was himself again. He was in such good spirits that his biology instructor had promised to throw him out of the lab the next time he started singing. Undaunted, Martin hummed as he prepared and set aside test tubes of coagulated and precipitated proteins...
...Vice President, for example, gets $10,000 a year for expenses, but so far has had a hard time using it. The Nixons entertain so much that Agnew has been called on only once to throw an official dinner. The Agnews live in a four-bedroom Sheraton-Park Hotel suite, which they find adequate despite its obvious contrast with their previous quarters, the 54-room Maryland Governor's mansion in Annapolis.

"It is necessary that these things be destroyed when their usefulness is exhausted," says Bernhard. "This is purely economic architecture. They throw it up, they use it, they misuse it, they throw it away." But more than one historical commission has decided to preserve an old water tower or mill after the Bechers photographed it. That fact makes plant managers wary of the husband-and-wife team, whose mere interest in an obsolete object may induce local...
