...moving to the outskirts of town. Ben Franklin packed up, left Philadelphia's High Street and unpacked again at the corner of Second and Sassafras, grumbling that "the din of the Market increases upon me: and that with frequent interruptions has, I find, made me say some things twice over." And after all, as one proud New Englander says, "When Paul Revere needed help for the city of Boston, where did he go? The suburbs...
...British Exhibition open, took off with Vice President Richard Nixon and New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS) for a chummy hour's tour of the show, trailed by admirers and the curious. Never before has Great Britain staged such a large show abroad. It is twice as large as last year's Soviet exhibition in Manhattan (TIME, July 6, 1959). Along with a replica of a 17th century coffee house, where Lloyd's of London first began writing ship insurance, and an English pub, the exhibition has on display machinery and merchandise worth at least...
Wall Street's change in mood was caused by the fact that so far this year stocks have twice rebounded strongly after piercing the 600 mark on the Dow-Jones industrial average, leading Streeters to believe that that was probably the market's low for the year.

Poppity-Pop. A lean and toothless old man with a long nose that had been broken twice by fists and at least once by a horse's hoof. Cowboy Kelly hated the 20th century. He went to his last movie in 1929. He would fall dumb when confronted with a telephone, flatly refused to ride in airplanes, insisted that all substitutes for the horse were a danger to life and limb ("They will kill you off! They go like hell, poppity-pop and hellity-scoop"). Like Pieter Brueghel the Elder, whom he admired so much, he filled his canvases...
Poetic Approach. Such public recognition is rare for Kahn, whose high reputation is based on only a handful of buildings. Born on the Estonian island of Osel (Saaremaa), he went to the U.S. at the age of five, showed such promise as an artist that he was twice offered scholar ships at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. He chose instead to be an architect, and after studying at the University of Pennsylvania, split his time between teaching and designing a few highly original buildings: a community center in Trenton, N.J., a psychiatric hospital in Philadelphia. The scarcity...
