Second, bilateral aid has not proven to be the most effective form of assistance in all cases. We must increasingly channel our development through multilateral institutions, such as the Inter-American Development Bank, the Central American Bank, and the World Bank.

...National Institutes of Health discovered that the brain's control of the pituitary gland was a major factor in the sudden aging of the salmon. As the fish enters fresh water, he found, the pituitary quickly grows to more than twice its normal size, and the central nervous system fails to maintain control. The gland then triggers a metabolic speedup that burns away practically all of the fat in the salmon's body. Biochemist Andrew Benson, associate director of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, explains: "It is as though all the glands were programmed to cause the combustion...

Inside, visitors pass through a spacious 35-ft.-high central court, then climb to the galleries on a swirling, circular stairway. They can promenade from one gallery to the next without descending, thanks to glass-curtained, connecting bridges that overlook both court and outdoor plaza. Pei believes that such bridges give a "change of pace" between exhibition rooms. "Besides," he adds, "in a museum your eyes need a rest...
