...same thing CORE wants since 1927. I've sent open-occupancy legislation to our city council three times, and three times the Democrats have killed it. There are many things that need to be changed in our city, and you can help us. You can help me." Taut, trim Major General George Gelston, Baltimore's acting police commissioner, added his voice: "Look, I've only been a policeman since April, and I'm going to quit in September. All I want is to get the job done, and part of that job is maintaining the peace...
...many ways, Louis I. Kahn is architecture's favorite maverick. No trim glass and steel boxes for him. Kahn's vocabulary includes truncated towers, round arches, even domes. He was once one of the most promising pupils of French-born Architect Paul Phi lippe Cret, designer of Washington's Pan-American Union.

Under the circumstances, it is no surprise that the Vatican regards him as a rather disturbing thinker. Besides the normal prepublication censorship to which all priest-scholars must submit, McKenzie has to have...
...Trim, tanned and fit as a Marine Corps drill instructor (he won a Silver Star on Iwo Jima), Lawyer Ickes speaks six languages, has been a Davies lieutenant ever since Davies took him on as general counsel for his American Independent Oil Co. in 1950. The two work together like the barrels of a shotgun-as is only natural. It was F.D.R.'s curmudgeonly Interior Secretary Harold Ickes, Raymond's father, who picked Davies to be wartime Deputy Petroleum Coordinator when he was a vice president of Standard Oil of California. In part because Davies had so faithfully...
