"SCULPTOR APPLIES AESTHETICS: Prize-winning American Sculptor Milton Hebald blended formand function for a year-round astral recipe that suits Pan American World Airways' new terminal to a "T" (for Taurus). His 12 bronze signs of the zodiac, which adorn the 200-by-24-foot glass windscreen in front of the building at New York International Airport intrigue travelers the world over. Hist bronze-encased letters that form the free-standing words "PAN AMERICAN" are filled with a light-catching mosaic of Venetian glass and stones."
