...detergent commercial sits at a desk with shelves of leather-bound books behind him and a red-white-and-blue box of laundry detergent in front. As the camera dollies in, he removes his half-moon reading glasses and there is former Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall himself, saying, "I believe that Sears' new Phosphate-Free Laundry Detergent is a real breakthrough. For our water's sake, I hope you use it." Ecology-Freak Udall says he will make other commercials, as well as speeches, pitching for the new product. His pay? It will...
...IMPORTANT to distinguish the problems of form and function in Mather House. As a collection of masses, the building succeeds admirably. The tower balances with Peabody Terrace, the lowrise balances with Dunster House, and the idea of an interior space gives the whole affair a kind of lumbering cosmic equilibrium. Terra cotta was the original choice for the exterior faces, and the texture which it would have provided might have prevented the tower from looking like a rouged waffle-iron...

Dos Passos had to invent his own form to contain his vision. U.S.A. was a montage of deft biographies, Joycean interior monologues, narrative fictions and fascinating oddments, headlines and snatches of popular songs. His prose-poetry was as varied and fragmented as his pluralistic America...
...sexual crisscrossing, unisex is characterized by blandness and the avoidance of extremes. Says Winick: "Light from her cigar may provide the only brightness" on modern woman's "barely there" face. Houses are becoming sexless: they contain few leather club chairs or boudoir chairs-or even boudoirs. In interior decoration, the most popular hue is a noncolor, beige. Names too are sexually equivocal; one child out of five has a name like Robin or Leslie or Dana...
