Plants spring up from pictures. Shells resound with strange and vibrant organ music. Paper sea gulls take flight across a cloudless sky. When the young voyagers peer through holes in the map they spy black and white children from other lands and entice them to walk and bicycle across the water to the seventh continent...
...Bomb. Complaints notwithstanding, high-density living is likely to be the style of the future. "All the major cities are as alive and as likely to keep growing as a tropical rain forest," declares Nat Owings. "There is no possibility of their dying.

His first five months produced little but petty errors, squabbles and a deepening frustration that so vibrant a campaigner could be so dull an incumbent. Then came Dr. Martin Luther King's assassination, and Stokes, 40, tearfully walked through Cleveland slums, trying to avert the violence that was to inflame 168 other American cities. He succeeded, and that April night seemed to bring the mayor to rousing life...
