...council to act on the zoning. MIT--the largest land-owner in Cambridgeport--moved last year to begin to take steps toward developing the former site of the Simplex Cable and Wire factory 27 acres in the north of the industrial district Last week, the university designated forest City, a Cleveland, Ohio-bsed firm, as the developer for the project...
...talks. The men met more casually as well. Their final informal meeting before last summer's two-month recess took place on the afternoon of July 16 at a mountainside restaurant near the town of Saint-Cergue, overlooking Geneva.

Florida's Everglades, a unique mixture of rain forest, wildlife refuge and the world's largest cultivated organic soil bed, stretches 100 miles from Lake Okeechobee in the north to Florida Bay at the state's southern tip.

At once the Prestons suspected that the carvings might be a little solar observatory...
...Office Building and the Federal and Queen Anne-style Sewall-Belmont House and garden, headquarters of the venerable National Woman's Party. The Hart Building's classically well-ordered, box-construction windows, reminiscent of Le Corbusier's famous brise-soleils, or sun screens, harmonize with the forest of Roman columns that flourishes on Capitol Hill. Most important, of the six congressional office palaces built in the 20th century, this is the first to make 20th century functional sense...
