Still, the thought of every home with hanging plants, every living room with varnished wood floors and Design Research hangings has locals worried. "The city could become more uniform, more homogeneous," Mayor Francis H. Duehay '55 says, adding, "In some ways it would be easier to govern, but it will certainly be much less interesting." Meanwhile, as tenants are evicted throughout the city, "there could be tremendous individual human suffering," Sullivan adds. "Twenty-five per cent of the city's apartment dwellers could be evicted in the next decade--suffering on that magnitude could make the problems before rent control...
...cities across the U.S., balanced according to location, type of store and local sales volume. The group includes dozens of independent shops and mini-chains, the two largest U.S. booksellers (B. Dalton and Walden) and one middle-sized national chain (Brentano's).

Dessauer then worked out a formula that assigns a statistical value to each store, reflecting its representative role in the sample. Figures for the two giant chains, for example...

Indeed, about three-quarters of the world's tornadoes strike in the U.S., most of these in a belt nicknamed Tornado Alley that extends from Texas to Ohio and reaches as far east as the Appalachians and as far west as the Rockies.

Long's indoor works are a strange contradiction in terms. The pieces are similar to those done outdoors--circles and lines in stone and wood. While the coarse raw materials seem out of place on smooth, polished gallery floors, the simple geometric forms work well in architectural frameworks. In Long's works, nature does not rebel against enclosure; rather, all is calm and ordered. Circles are centered in rooms, and lines of stones parallel the walls. The indoor works have none of the geographic specificity of the outdoor pieces; they can work in any number of interiors. In a rare...
