The Fourth Life of Amory Bradford

-
Article from the Washington Post Magazine (by Phyllis Theroux), September 19, 1982.

Till he was 50 he rode the escalator to corporate power; now 20 years later, on the other side of alcoholism and thoughts of suicide, wealth seems worth less than wisdom.

This file also includes a copy of Oakland's Not for Burning, A Dynamic Experiment in Urban Development by Amory Bradford, published by David McKay Company, New York, in 1968. The copy of this book was donated by John and Clara DeBoer.
