...when it is built, Architect Wright's church (see cut} will indeed be a landmark in ecclesiastical design. An integral part of its angular, efficient structure is a triple-decker parking space for the congregation's cars. "It is immoral and unethical to build a structure without providing for the traffic it will attract," Wright told the church board. "You don't want an immoral church, do you?" They did not. Though the building department dislikes its thin walls and invisible heating, it will be the first church in the U. S. to be fully...
...Chavez could give that his fanciful reconstruction called Xochi-pili-Macuilxochitl after the Aztec god of music, the dance, flowers, love-was the real stuff. But it really sounded like an Aztec jam session. Flutes and pipes shrilled and wailed, a trombone (subbing for the snail shell) neighed an angular melody, to the spine-tingling thump-and-throb of drums, gourds, rattles.

Every night for 37 years leathery, angular Arnold Friedman went home from his job as a Manhattan postal clerk to his attic studio in Queens. There he painted the people who had come up to his money-order window, the street scenes that had caught his eye. In 1937 he retired on pension, able at last to paint all day. Last Feb. 23 Arnold Friedman was 60. Same day the Metropolitan Museum of Art bought his painting Unemployable (see cut).

Later astronomers abandoned the nebular hypothesis. They found two things wrong with it: 1) it was unlikely that the rings would gather into planets; 2) the "angular momentum" was wrong. Angular momentum can be roughly defined as the amount of rotation in a system. In the solar system the planets have about 98% of the angular momentum, but only one-seventh of 1% of the solar system's mass, the rest being in the sun. The Laplace theory could not account for this discrepancy. It seemed more likely that there had been interference from outside...
Editor Charles Wesley Roberts is a thin, angular senior with a shrewd, Yankee face, a native of Evanston, Ill. After one term at the University of Illinois he transferred to Minnesota so that he could study such nontechnical journalistic subjects as Press & Public Opinion, Contemporary Affairs...
