...Times building is a block long, Rosenthal told me nonchalantly the bright May morning we met there. The M.E. made a slight sweeping motion with his hand, nonchalantly emphasizing the words "block long." That was the extent of my tour. There was little time for Rosenthal to escort a tourist through the one-and-one third acres of grey metal desks, typewriters, telephones and teletypes...
...Tourist Swarms. Like many such discoveries, the Michelangelo works were found partly by accident. For years, Dal Poggetto and his colleagues have been worrying about the crowds of tourists-sometimes 4,000 a day-who come swarming into the chapel to see the seven brooding marble statues that Michelangelo carved to commemorate the Dukes Lorenzo and Giuliano de' Medici.

In fact, Carl Gustaf probably felt more like a tired tourist than Europe's youngest monarch. Now in the middle of a month-long U.S. tour, the King had gone to the San Francisco Bay Area for a 48-hour visit that included one consular banquet, an evening of disco dancing, a tour of the University of California at Berkeley, a quick look at San Francisco's new subway system, and lunch with Swedish-born Rudolph...
