Scope and content

Max Nicholson sends Jack Pritchard "the enclosed from a Dartington Newsheet.... now you have it, straight from the horse's mouth" [possibly the article by Kenneth Lindsay, 'Dartington's Heritage 5. PEP; the unofficial think-tank', PP/4/1/13/37-38]. He refers to "losing Misha [Black?], who had been helping me on the London Jubilee" and discusses the role of "DESIGN in what we call the public sector... [trying] to convince myself that we have really made any progress since the Festival of Britain". He writes of "a little exhibition of street furniture... in the new Jubilee Gardens in front of the Shell Centre" which he organised and the site of which depresses him. He concludes by announcing that he is about to take on 'a job in Yugoslavia where they actually manage to get some things done about planning, in their own rough way."
