...claim of modern industry on the brains and energy and honor and intelligence of man exceeds the claims that have ever before been made upon the intelligence and character of man. Modern industry, if we could only encompass it within our feeble imaginations, is the instrument by which it is given us to achieve in our lifetime nearly all that mankind has struggled for in centuries of blood and sweat and futility."

Today's successful formula combines a feeling for the news with a concern for culture and tries, like a daily newsmagazine, to encompass all human activity. The show did not shake down overnight, though, as film clips from a nostalgic anniversary program last week made embarrassingly evident. For the first nine years, Dave Garroway was host, or rather referee. Engineers, visible from behind the anchor desks, used to wave to their wives; J.

Award-winning Brazos County Courthouse in Texas, it stands foursquare with the city grid on the exterior, turns curvy inside to encompass a seashell-shaped auditorium. Says William Caudill: "There were 61 people involved with the job and they worked 13¾ man-years." To make sure that the acoustics would prove a ringing success, the ceiling is composed of 870 acoustical "lenses" that can be raised or lowered to tune the hall...
