West Germans can take scant com fort from the state of their own defenses. The Bundeswehr, which is 52,000 men short of its planned 508,000 force level, showed only two weeks ago, in the Black Lion maneuvers, that it was far too inadequately trained and equipped.

The steady, disciplined hand of German-born Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, 82, soon will show in Washington's pristine, block-long central library. For Oakland, Calif., New Haven-based Kevin Roche has designed a three-tier museum, with the roof of each tier serving as a broad, verdant terrace. Philadelphia's innovative Louis Kahn, whom all architects watch with what amounts...
