Popular Vigilance. Power in Portugal now seems to be divided between General Costa Gomes, 60, the country's military Chief of Staff, and Premier Vasco Gongalves, 53, also a career officer who is regarded as the principal architect of the April revolution. Gongalves and the more conservative Spinola fought on almost all important issues, with Costa Gomes, then the No. 2 man in the ruling junta, acting as referee. Now Goncalves and Costa Gomes profess agreement on almost everything. "Where General Spinola saw anarchy, General Costa Gomes sees a healthy popular vigilance," says Gongalves. "These differences [between us] prevented...
According to Bruce Kilgore, chief architect of the Park Service's new policy, one of the parks in which natural fires would have done the most good is one where fires have been rigorously controlled: California's Sequoia National Park. There, if natural fires had been allowed to sweep through the area's firs while they were young, the trees would have burned without involving the great redwoods.

...black-tie openings kept the museums of the Boston area and its formal-wear renters in happy collusion this week. Tuesday night, the Fogg Museum presented its latest original exhibit--investigating the works of 19th century architect H. H. Richardson.

Now, with the finishing touches added, it should...
Longtime Gladiator. There, for the most part, the similarities end. A longtime gladiator in the public arena, Myrdal served in the Swedish Parliament in the 1930s and was an impor tant architect of the Swedish Labor Party's welfare state. He was his country's Commerce Minister from 1945 to 1947 and head of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe for ten years after that. He is a considerably more familiar figure than his fellow laureate, largely because of two major works published nearly a quarter-century apart. While a professor at the Uni versity of Stockholm...
Ronald's wife Marion (Geraldine Page) mouths snobbish insults, knocks back the gin and flirts with a swinging architect, Geoffrey (Tony Roberts), whose wife Eva (Sandy Dennis) moves through the room like a zombie's zombie. The truly running gag of the act -and it is more laugh provoking than it sounds-is the spectacle of Jane dashing in and out of a drenching rain in quest of a six-pack of tonic water...
