Sovereignty is not a word often used in connection with a Soviet citizen. But First Party Secretary Nikita Khrushchev used it scornfully last week to describe the action of "Comrade Maximov," chairman of the Zhdanov Coke-Chemical works, who had built an 8½-ft.-high slag-block wall 3,000 ft. long (cost: $50,000) to "defend his sovereignty" against the rival Azvostal factory.

...architecture. Looking back over the past 100 years, a photographic exhibit of some 200 black-and-white photographs singled out 65 high points of U.S. building, from Richard Upjohn's 1853 Victorian Wyman Villa to Mies van der Rohe's glass-and-steel Crown Hall, built last year at the Illinois Institute of Technology (TIME, July 2).

The exterior is finished in cedar to match the rustic surroundings. The interior is separated into functional areas on a triple-level scheme: three bedrooms and bath on the top level; living room, dining room, kitchen and main entrance on the middle level; playroom, utility room and garage (convertible into two more bedrooms) on the lower level...
...panels let in light and cut the glare; the interior is furnished with pale Japanese silks, gold-veined black Belgian marble, Finnish lamps, lacquered cane and teak chairs, aquamarine Puerto Rican tile, East Indian alabaster, a walnut-paneled bath with a circular tub of cerulean Italian tiles. Architect Hampton built the house to suit the owner's specific demands: "A home where I and my friends could be comfortable in shorts or a dinner jacket...
