Criticism centers on the soaring roofs, which conceal the acoustical ceilings. The late Frank Lloyd Wright saw the roofs as so many "circus tents." Critic Lewis Mumford assailed the silhouette as serving "no other purpose than that of demonstrating the esthetic audacity of the designer." Utzon claims that the sails are a necessary departure from functionalism: "One could not have a flat roof filled with ventilation pipes." "I have made a sculpture," he says. "People will sail around it-so they will see it as a round thing, not as a house in a street...
punt return- and the Bears clawed the Packers 31-10. Minnesota was leading Chicago 37-31 with only 2 min. 18 sec left when Gale gathered in a kickoff on his own 4-yd. line, set sail up the sideline, and simply outran everybody to the goal line. Against the New York Giants last week, Sayers demonstrated the perfect way to run one of pro foot ball's prettiest plays: the halfback option. In the first quarter he started around end, stopped dead in his tracks, and flipped a pass to End Dick Gordon...

Dennis says he rarely leaves his hotel room while traveling, except to go off on expeditions in his boat. He and his mother talked about his proposed sail-fishing expedition to Florida next week. With expansive gestures, reclining in an imaginary deck chair, feet propped against an imaginary bow, he showed us how he reels in "marlin bigger than I am." The other Beach Boys have other preoccupations. "Carl spends money, Brian writes songs, and I just like speed and competition," Dennis says. "I don't like Europe and I don't like the Orient. I like Redondo Beach...
Some of those who finally made it home felt like Odysseus. One man hiked 15 miles from Wall Street to the East Bronx. Another had his wife sail their Chris-Craft 30 miles down the Hudson to pick him up at the 79th Street marina. A dozen passengers crossed the East River to Queens in the back of an armored car; aboard a flatbed truck, threescore executives toting attache cases jounced happily home across the 59th Street bridge...
