TIME's picture of the Shanghai waterfront along Soochow Creek [June 8] brings back poignant memories of the Communists' entry into the city. The large building in the center is the Embankment Building, whose penthouse, jutting out from the top, was my family's home after World...
...President Eisenhower's science adviser-M.I.T. spent an estimated $22 million for operating costs, another $56 million for sponsored research projects. It produces some of the country's ablest pure physicists; it has grown from the nation's main wartime radar laboratory to the leading center of electronics and computer development. Out of its orbit have spun a dozen graduate-launched electronics companies (e.g., Raytheon) in the golden brain center of surrounding Cambridge. It attracts more foreign professors (198 last year) and has a higher proportion of foreign students (12.4%) than any other U.S. institution. Above...
...first time in a decade, France's 14-year-old Association of Tapestry Painter-Designers has sent to the U.S. a major traveling exhibition of its current work-36 tapestries by 18 of the 26 association members.

As a poet, Morris has the word from Ezra Pound ("In 50 years...
...major cities on the West Coast encouraged packers and farmers to set up markets at Denver, Kansas City, Omaha and other points closer home. At the same time, the spread of new highways and the upsurge of the trucking industry offset Chicago's advantage as a rail center. Livestock production spread east and south. In World War II, rationing and price control, strictly enforced in Chicago, encouraged behind-the-barn slaughter throughout the farm belt. Once broken of the habit of shipping to Chicago, many farmers never went back. By 1954 there were 2,367 separate packing establishments...
