Little Rock's school board ordered a small but significant advance in the integration of the city's schools. In addition to assigning three Negro pupils again to Central High, scene of the 1957 riots, the board admitted the first three Negro youngsters for classes at Hall High School...
...lighting of museums is too changeable, except in dime-bright climates, and artificial lighting is too colorless and rigid. Le Corbusier's solution at Tokyo is a radical blend of both. Over the central gallery he raised a huge, tentlike, triangular skylight, glassed on its north side. The smaller galleries have long, rectangular skylights. And to illuminate the dark corners, spotlights are set into the ceilings. Some Japanese critics complain that walking through the building ''gives one a very mixed feeling, like a repetitive alternation of night and day." More spotlights should level out the effect...

Having boned up thoroughly on Birrell's intricate financial machinations, Rio police were interested in his wheeler-dealing around Rio, where he tried to promote stock in a plastic company and import seven cars as personal baggage (including Cadillacs worth $14,000 each in Rio). As the police frisked Birrell, they found a fresh charge in his left coat pocket: a Canadian passport he had used for false entry into Brazil only a week before...
...voters of Little Rock, like the voters of Virginia, have made clear that if there is no other choice, they will not abandon free public education to avoid desegregation. Last week the doors of Little Rock's embattled Central High School swung open again-for the registering of students for the September reopening ordered last month by a federal court.
