...Cyprus. Iran called for U.S. missiles and more economic aid. Pakistan was particularly annoyed because the U.S. had just proposed $225 million aid to India, its neutralist neighbor and rival claimant of Kashmir. Iraq, the Baghdad Pact's one Arab member, demanded action on the Palestine question -"the core of instability and restlessness in the Middle East." All four, who have dubbed themselves the "area" members of the Baghdad Pact to distinguish themselves from "donors" (meaning Britain and the U.S.), wanted more military and economic...
...Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, whose group architecture produced a design with two important new space-creating features. The building is entirely supported by steel columns outside the glass facade, thus leaving on each floor an unobstructed span, 58 ft. across by 177 ft. long, for flexible office planning.

Whereas Angel as a book has the solid core but lacks shape, Winesburg, despite its wellshaped phrases, has a weaker core. Therefore a stage craftsman can, by pruning and shaping, transfer and even intensify much of Thomas Wolfe; the only important element lost in making Angel into a play was the visible stagnation and oppressive boredom, which are communicable far more easily in a long...
