...here." In a huge plastic sphere called a Bubblelator, 100 visitors at a time are lifted into the cubistic caverns above, there to shuffle through a labyrinth of 3,600 aluminum cubes, and be exposed by light, sound projection and three-dimensional devices to a dreamworld tunnel of love that involves them "emotionally with the future's opportunities and challenges...
Gruen was off and running. The city was persuaded to spend $10 million to close off Cortland Street, enlarge another on the plaza's perimeter and to provide extra parking facilities. To get commercial traffic out of the way, he built a delivery tunnel beneath the stores. Alongside the tunnel, but burrowing three stories below, he built a 2,000-car garage, provided escalators to whisk the motorist to the plaza level. In the spacious, columned malls and arcades he put gardens and sculptures. To add a town-square touch, he designed sidewalk cafes, planted trees, and put benches...

But when prospects for the airframe industry began to look dim after World War II, Saab's aircraft engineers went to work designing a car. By 1950 they produced a wind tunnel-tested model that was nearly perfect aerodynamically, but had to be redesigned to hold people. Since then, under the prodding of slide rule-toting Managing Director Tryggve Holm, 57, Saab has become the car for the automotive purist who revels in its front-wheel drive and the tiny three-cylinder...
Last week came new evidence suggesting that Gourè had been right all along. Pictures at an antiaircraft defense exhibition in Moscow showed what many observers had previously missed: air vents, escape tunnels and blastproof steel doors in the basements of apartment houses and public buildings (although reporters have not actually seen such protective devices on the newest buildings going up in Moscow). A film revealed how stations on the Moscow subway can be quickly converted into bomb shelters by closing them off from the tunnel by means of massive steel doors lifted into place with hydraulic jacks. Another movie...
