...national purpose. But it did severely undermine some of our most basic assumptions by demonstrating the pragmatic consequences of these beliefs. Vietnam has forced us to reconsider out values, to reexamine the role we wish to play in the world community, and to rethink the image we want to project to other people. This is not a matter of isolationsism vs. activism. but of coming to grips with the understanding that we cannot unilaterally impose our will throughout the world, that other cultures and nations deserve our respect, and that self-interest is not always best served through force...

In 1968, Klutznick founded the Chicago-based Urban Investment and Development Co.; two years later the firm was sold to Aetna Life & Casualty for more than $52 million. His latest major project was Water Tower Place, a 74-story, $195 million showpiece on Chicago's North Michigan Avenue.

After years of frustration, Wright took out a $50,000 second mortgage on his house and published the book himself. The work is presented as DeLorean's first...
Part of the trouble is in the writing and part in the playing. For a boy-meets-girl play to exercise its potential magic, there must be beguiling charm and a contagious affection. Farrow and Perkins project neither. Farrow's Phoebe is naive without the endearing thread of home spun innocence. Her vocal habit of putting equal stress on each syllable, word and sentence leads to aural torpor. Perkins' Jason is waspish and petulant with out a trace of roguish lovability...
