Humphrey, Hubert

Most architectural fabrics are usually flexible composites comprised of glass fibers coated with fluorocarbons to resist wind, mechanical forces, and outdoor environmental degradation. The airport terminal in Saudi Arabia, and the roofs for the Hubert Humphrey Dome in Minneapolis and the Tokyo Dome Stadium are a few examples of the successful use of architectural fabrics.

Hubert Humphrey, Democratic senator from Minnesota from 1949 to 1964, and again from 1971 to 1978, and vice president of the United States from 1965 to 1969. A pharmacist before going into politics, Humphrey cosponsored the 1951 Prescription Drug Amendment that defined the distinction between prescription drugs that required supervision by a physician and OTC drugs. The law remains a key to the system of prescription drugs today.

Progress has been periodically updated and also discounted (e.g., Shark Therapy by Catherine Dold in the April 1996 issue of Discover, and Holistic Medicine by Susan Crabtree in the September-October 1996 issue of The National limes, first published in Insight.) Oncologist Charles Simone, formerly with NCI and now located in New Jersey, was supported by the then OfQce of Alternative Medicine (0AM) of the NIH to check the efficacy of shark cartilage. (Simone once treated Ronald Reagan and Hubert Humphrey for cancer, using nutritional therapy.) As suspected, sharks may become an endangered species, maybe to no avail.

Wide-span buildings using textile material were of less interest in the 1980s. While most architects and engineers were looking to produce constructions in concrete, there were still some projects, like the 1982 Hubert M. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, which were constructed using Teflon-coated fibreglass. The inner pressure that was necessary to stabilize the form made it necessary to use airlocks, which was not a perfect situation... 

Lehmberg Pflaum, 2001). Expansion further to the south was effectively checked by the Mississippi River floodplain, while expansion to the north was blocked by an existing neighborhood, Marcy-Holmes, and a busy commercial center (Dinkytown) serving the faculty and student population. Expansion to the east, beyond the health center area was actually considered. One proposal boldly envisioned a continuous connection through southeast Minneapolis over to the St. Paul campus. But this option was complicated by several realities the presence of the football stadium (since demolished) the existence of a wide swath of railroad and other industrial land and the likely opposition of the stable Prospect Park neighborhood, home to many faculty members as well as then-Senator Hubert Humphrey.
