...Netsch tore up eight false starts before the final design came to him from one of those inspired doodles from which architects so often get ideas. He had drawn a horizontal line, then a series of near-vertical connected lines that looked a bit like the tracing of a seismograph gone wild. Then the idea of using tetrahedrons came into being-100 four-sided structures of steel tubing serving as the building blocks of a whole series of spires that would reach up to heaven and still flow logically from the design.

But A.G.V.A. clearly has done little or nothing to improve their working conditions. Said Stripper Corinne Stein...
...sublets the place had been charging Thant $1,200 a month until the commission sued him for rent gouging and demanded $51,700 triple damages on Thant's behalf. Not at all, protested the landlord. The gouge was on the other side. Thant's cat "tore the dam ask curtains, ripped up the carpets and upholstery," and left him with $6,447 in damages. Thant's aides were skeptical...
