...Technical Dam-Burst." Taking time out this week, Gropius will go to New Orleans to receive the Gold Medal of the American Institute of Architects, the profession's highest award, given in the past to such men as Louis Henri Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright. It will also give Gropius a chance to get some long-brooding concerns off his chest. Says Gropius: "We have now amassed such a tremendous arsenal of techniques that their bristling display has nearly robbed us of our sense of balance...
...rugged (6 ft. 3 in., 190 lbs.) lad, whose rippling biceps seem to make visible bulges on the television screen. The son of a Bronx truck driver, Rocky grew up in the shadow of Yankee Stadium, played ball just across the street in Macomb's Dam Park. Naturally, the Yankees were his boyhood heroes.

For food they had one C-ration can, a share in a live chicken. (New problem for the city-bred: how to kill and cook it.) They had learned in earlier problems to live on snake meat in Florida's Everglades, cross open country on a run (about five...
...China's bullying behavior forced all eyes in its direction. When Nehru last week journeyed to the Nepalese border to dedicate a new dam that is being started on the raging Kosi River, a crowd of 100,000 gathered to hail him and Nepal's youthful King Mahendra, 38. Afterward, the two leaders conferred for several hours. King Mahendra fears Nepal may be the next victim of Red China's aggression, is well aware that on Communist maps his mountain-locked country is shown as Chinese territory. In the desperate hope that Moscow might have a restraining...
