...everybody talks about the weather, and everybody tries to do something different about it. Television weather shows range from Milwaukee's Bill Carlsen squirting up a shaving-cream snowstorm to Manhattan's arch, smock-coated Tex Antoine drooping a cartoon mustache to pass the same word about rain. There have been politicians (Maryland's Senator John Marshall Butler once sponsored a nightly weather roundup as a campaign gimmick), puppets, and above all, dolls. As one of the largest sponsors of TV weather programs (36 on local stations in the East), the Atlantic Refining Co. has tried...
...county supervisors - who may be imitated by other arch-segregationist Virginia communities - said they did not act last week "in defiance of any law or of any court."

His gull-wing roof over Las Corts soccer stadium in Barcelona is one of the world's most breathtaking architectural sights. Even in the small churches and shrines that Torroja has built for Pyrenees villages, he has exploited shell structure to produce new forms whose strength comes from shape and whose beauty springs from mathematical curves possible only in modern reinforced concrete. Torroja is fond of walking his institute visitors under the sickle-shaped...
