...other aspect of the U.S. exhibition, which ranges from fashion show to soda-serving drug counter, has raised such a ruckus as the choice of U.S. art (see color pages). The original intent, outlined by American Federation of Arts Director Harris K. Prior, was to document the proposition: "Nowhere in the world can man live a complete life without the beneficent presence of the visual arts. In America, because of the highly mechanized civilization and the abundance of leisure time, they are perhaps even more necessary than elsewhere...
...distant hydrophones. An antenna rose from the top of the floating balloon and transmitted radio signals that were audible 60 miles away. A stroboscopic light started flashing so brightly that it could be seen for 20 miles. A fluorescent dye spread over the water, making a patch of bright color to attract search aircraft. As a final touch, a shark-repelling chemical dissolved in the water. Sharks are fascinated by the recovery apparatus, and a nip from one of them could send the whole thing to the bottom...

It is embarrassing...
...from all over the U.S., the American Institute of Architects last week picked this year's winners of "first honor" awards for architectural excellence. The year's best: the Connecticut General Life Insurance Co. home office building near Hartford by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill Partner Gordon Bunshaft (TIME COLOR PAGES, Sept. 16); the Stuart Co. pharmaceutical plant at Pasadena by Architect Edward D. Stone (TIME COVER, March 31); two glass-façaded California school buildings by San Francisco's Mario J. Ciampi; a highly patterned tile-and-glass-façaded Palm Springs specialty shop...
