...thrown into sharp focus when the Latin American bishops gather at Pueblo, Mexico. Their meeting may produce a dramatic confrontation between go-it-slow churchmen and a restive "liberation" camp that sees opposition to oppression as a Christian duty. A Pope like Argentina's Eduardo Cardinal Pironio, an architect of the progressive bishops' conference of a decade ago, could encourage major initiatives. The issue also arose last month, when the African bishops' symposium issued moral denunciations of governments that are built upon lies, intolerance, political murders and "shameful enrichment of a small class at the expense of the broad masses...

Touring Europe in 1927, Stone had his first look at the stark glass and aluminum "international style" that he would use in his 1937 design for Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art.

...time for a housewarming at Bunny and Paul's new place. For the gala affair last week at the magnificent East Building of Washington's National Gallery, the Mellons played host to over 200 guests, including Jacqueline Onassis and Artists Robert Motherwell and Helen Frankenthaler. Architect I.M. Pei, creator of it all, looked on beaming. "The best thing is to see how it looks with people in it," he said, adding, "I didn't want it to be a Lincoln Memorial." Not to worry. Before the week was out, the President himself had stopped by to open...
