The 1970s was marked by a seismic change that occurred in the representation of ideas in architecture as they appeared monthly on the pages of AD. The magazine bears out the energetic, experimental, environmentally-conscious and ultimately pluralist culture that prevailed throughout the 1960s, carrying it through to the emergence of Post-Modernism in the late 1970s. This issue of AD presents a ’Cosmorama for Now’, looking at such subjects as housing, schools, health, urban design and planning.Contributors will include amongst others: Jon Goodbun, FAT, Kester Ratternbury, David

Ethan Mordden’s new entry in his history of the Broadway musical looks at an era that brought us not only the gritty reality of "A Chorus Line" and the brilliantly bittersweet works of Stephen Sondheim, but also the nostalgic crowd-pleasers "No, No, Nanette" and "Annie." It was a time when Broadway both looked to its past, but also to its future and allowed reality to enter. Mordden writes of the last time we ever saw true greatness on the stage of the Broadway musical.

?Down these mean streets a man must go.? For hard-boiled heroes, it used to be that way. But not any more. The streets are now far meaner than anything Raymond Chandler could have imagined when he wrote this classic description of the hard-boiled hero. And the heroes who go down those mean streets are no longer just tough middle-aged white men. Stories about these heroes, too, have risen from the pages of pulp magazines to today?s best-seller lists. Beginning in the 1970s a new generation of writers took over the hard-boiled story created by Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett and remade it

Few conventions were left unchallenged in the 1970s as Americans witnessed a decade of sweeping social, cultural, economic, and political upheavals. The fresh anguish of the Vietnam War, the disillusionment of Watergate, the recession, and the oil embargo all contributed to an era of social movements, political mistrust, and not surprisingly, rich cultural diversity. It was the Me Decade, a reaction against 60s radicalism reflected in fashion, film, the arts, and music. Songs of the Ramones, the Sex Pistols, and Patti Smith brought the aggressive punk-rock music into the mainstream, introducin
