Side Effects. Tokyo has never lacked for master plans. The boldest was designed in 1960 by Architect Kenzo Tange, whose ambitious blueprint to extend the city out over Tokyo Bay attracted attention round the world, but was virtually ignored at home. Though never geisha-gracious like Kyoto, its sister city to the southwest, Tokyo has always made up for its lack of physical charm with a sense of rawboned excitement. Its pleasure districts are the gaudiest anywhere. The hub of the nation's cultural life, Tokyo boasts five symphony orchestras, attracts most of the country's artists...
Died. Arne Jacobsen, 69, Danish architect and designer; of a heart attack; in Copenhagen. "Economy plus function equals style," proclaimed Jacobsen, and he carried out his philosophy in stunning, spare buildings like those he designed for Oxford University's St. Catherine's College, completed in 1964. Jacobsen was equally well known for his interiors and furnishings. His famous "egg" and "ant" chairs earned him more money and acclaim than many architects received for entire buildings...
Situated in a rundown commercial section of Santiago, the Valdivia appears ordinary enough from the outside. It is the interior, with its 54 varied, exotic suites designed by Architect Daniel Zamudio and the hotel's owner Guillermo Mella, that distinguishes the place from other quickie havens.

A middle-aged matron in a white nurse's uniform greets the couple, leads them down a corridor lined with a rock garden and waterfalls...
...deadly climate of the scenarios, of the Herman Kahn-type scenarios. If one reads back a little bit, if one looks back at early interviews six years ago, seven years ago, with Kissinger, one is aware of the fact that he must be the author and the architect of the invasions in Southeast Asia and the expansion of the Indochina War. It's part of his faith that you must keep the enemy guessing as to your next move, you must show the enemy you're prepared to take risks, and that you're prepared to escalate. Of course this...
...because they denigrate either man. The issue, Democrat William Fulbright, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, explained in another Senate speech, was that "the people's representatives in Congress are denied direct access not only to the President himself but to the individual who is the principal architect of our war policy in Indochina." The clash over executive privilege is a recurring and complex one. The Senate has a right to review U.S. foreign policy: yet a President needs candid advice from his aides, which he is unlikely to get if each aide knows that he may be publicly...
