...Surprisingly, Bernadette has achieved little rapport in the U.S. with the young or the New Left militants, or even with the mass of blacks with whose struggle Ulster's Catholics have strongly identified. Further, her emphasis on civil rights seems to have confused at least some Irish Americans, who have so long been opposed to black militancy. Where Bernadette has scored most heavily is with the liberal wing of the U.S. Establishment, but it remains to be seen whether the basically conservative voters of Ulster will respond with comparable enthusiasm when -and if-she stands for reelection.

Ironically, one of the needle's chief critics is San Francisco's Planning Director Allan B. Jacobs (whose powers, however, are strictly advisory). "This is unmistakably a 'look-at-me' building that does not complement the buildings near it," he says. Architecture Critic Wolf von Eckardt questions the function of the spire: "Is [it] to stamp a Transamerica Corporation trademark on one of the most breathtaking skylines in the world?"

Or it might not apply to ordinary people whose birthdays are not celebrated with the fuss that surrounds a man of fame. Still, the statistics that Phillips has gathered are convincing enough to impress the Russell Sage Foundation, which is oriented toward the social sciences; it has just given him an eleven-month grant for additional explorations...
...economic architecture. They throw it up, they use it, they misuse it, they throw it away." But more than one historical commission has decided to preserve an old water tower or mill after the Bechers photographed it. That fact makes plant managers wary of the husband-and-wife team, whose mere interest in an obsolete object may induce local do-gooders to pass an ordinance forbidding its destruction...
