Just as the man said, a small delivery truck was parked in the alley, and inside it the gendarmes found a gagged, trussed, middle-aged man. Lifting the blindfold, a cop peered at the battered, bloody face and nodded: "It looks like Argoud...

Yamasaki's plan called for three pairs of intersecting barrel vaults (to which others can be added). The concrete forms were sheathed in cop per, which made the building striking not only from the ground but also from the air.
