...designed a compact, low-rise city resembling a collection of garden apartments. The city will culminate in a two-tier center, according to Wilson's plan. A resident can walk almost any place in town in ten minutes. But a two center specialist took this general conception and went wild. He thought up a town center--with shops, community halls, and recreational facilities--that has a roof hung on girders, like a suspension bridge. Since the walls do not hold up anything, they can be moved around. A pub can become a gym and a store can be turned into...
...fascinating pieces of music composed in this century (completed in 1943). Its explicit text by Catullus (847-54 B.C.) is a delightfully, powerfully pagan ode to the joys and heartbreaks of love and lust.

Now the Grille is almost empty--the television off, the jukebox playing a tinny polka. Huge autographed photos of former Red Sox stars line the walls Ted Williams, Pumpsie Green, Johnny Pesky, Dom DiMaggio-but the men at the bar are discussing boxing. "You know goddamn well we're going to be up there again next year," a drunk in a back booth shouts...
