...roster of Peking's staunch allies in Europe numbers precisely one- Albania. Accordingly, the Chinese dispatched a high-powered delegation to Tirana last week to help the Albanians celebrate the 25th anniversary of their liberation from Nazi occupation. At the head of the team was a man whose name and background were little known outside Peking until this summer-Li Hsien-nien, a jowly, rumpled man in his early 60s who is very likely to become China's next Foreign Minister...
...Collected Works of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. 370 pages. Chelsea House. $12.50. Although the camping season ended some years ago when Susan Sontag explained it all, these selections from the comic-strip adventures of Buck and Wilma, "the blue-eyed, golden-haired, high-spirited young soldier-girl," are better late than never. Killer Kane, the Red Mongols, sexy space gear, baroque weaponry and quaint racial slurs-it's all here, from Buck's awakening after 500 years of suspended animation to his inconclusive battle with the Atomites...
...Israelis work harder at miracle making than the men and women of the famed research center that bears his name. Now marking its 25th anniversary, the Weizmann Institute for Science has grown from an obscure agriculture station in the desert town of Rehovot, 15 miles south of Tel Aviv, to a 250-acre complex with 17 major departments that explore everything from atomic physics and molecular biology to seismology.

Israel, he told a 25th anniversary banquet in New York last month, is "a pilot plant for the hundreds of millions of people living in ever greater poverty and misery" around the world...
Less immediate, but no less fascinating to those involved, were the weeks of work necessary to produce such color spreads as Morocco, the latest In resort, Normandy on the 25th anniversary of Dday, the new nude look in fashion and Venice besieged by the elements. "One of the greatest services we can render," says Baker, "is to grab a subject like oceanography or lasers, which don't instantly suggest color, and illuminate a whole area that might otherwise be buried in scientific texts." And sometimes, too, there are those subjects which suggest nothing but color-such as the rainbow...
