...caricatures, nonetheless, seem as pointed and contemporary as Levine's at their best. For a review about the cult of beauty in art, Grandville contributed a cartoon of a male au dience-literally all eyes-ogling a beauteous young thing in the front row of the grand tier. A review on Polish philosophy featured a huge bellows all but blowing people off the street with an endless stream of wind. For two books about Republicanism, there was a stout, complacent elephant in morning coat. The review of John Hersey's Algiers Motel Incident produced a long-beaked crane...
...towers will top the Empire State Building, since 1932 the world's tallest. The steady, disciplined hand of German-born Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, 82, soon will show in Washington's pristine, block-long central library. For Oakland, Calif., New Haven-based Kevin Roche has designed a three-tier museum, with the roof of each tier serving as a broad, verdant terrace. Philadelphia's innovative Louis Kahn, whom all architects watch with what amounts to fascination, has such projects under way as a factory for Olivetti and an art museum in Fort Worth. Across the U.S., there...

If you think too much on the second tier (think about why you are thinking what you think) you can be paralyzed...
Testing the Tiers. In the renewed flurry of gold speculation prompted by France's political crisis, the free-market price of the metal rose to a new high of $42.60 per oz. in London last week. That brought out enough sellers to push the price back down to $41.75 at week's end. The drop eased concern that the speculators might wreck the two-tier system of gold prices that has unhitched the gold market from the $35-per-oz. gold price for monetary reserves. Still, the system's durability depends chiefly on how fast...
