...Avenida Anhangabaú, has a distinctive look. Almost all Latin American architects use combinations of louvers, grills, projecting concrete slabs and movable screens to control the dazzling sunshine; they share a lavish liking for color, usually dramatically set off against sparkling white. There is a dearth of structural steel and timber, so the designers have almost universally turned to reinforced concrete. It is a building medium that can easily become clumsy and heavy, but the Latin Americans have seized on its highly plastic quality to fashion shell-like vaulting, bold cantilevers, curving façades that give high sculptural qualities to their...

...McArdle also had admonitions and warnings for the foresters. He pointed out that much of the increased sawtimber growth ratio comes from less important hardwoods, while softwoods, in huge demand for construction and papermaking, were cut down in 1952 almost one-third faster than they grew. The quality of timber, he said, is declining. Control of insect pests, which in 1952 killed 5 billion board feet of sawtimber (seven times the toll of fire), has not gone far enough. Nor have the growth ratios increased enough; by the year 2000, the Forest Service guesses, U.S. demand for non-fuel timber...
