I expected to receive a cheque by the end of the last tax year, at the latest. Today I was told that the policy has not even been transferred to my name and I need to fill in a surrender form,...

Today in 1961, the Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Company unveiled plans for a new corporate headquarters building in downtown Hartford, featuring a bold and revolutionary elliptical design unlike anything the city — or the world, for that matter — had seen before. Designed by the famous modernist architect Max Abramovitz, the new Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Building was an absolute show-stopper at the time of its reveal: A thirteen-story, 225 foot long, glass building that would sit a stone’s throw away from the Connecticut River. The most stunning aspect of the design, however, was its unique, two-sided, “elliptic lenticular cylinder” shape, the first of...
