...Convention at Valley Forge. Pa., near Philadelphia. Here Architect Vincent G. Kling neatly resolved a problem that had been bothering the Baptists: they wanted a building to house five separate divisions of the church's operation, yet one in which no division would be given preferential space. The doughnut-shaped structure they got houses each of the five divisions in harmonious wedges within. The Baptist Convention's highly unconventional building, clearly visible near Interchange 24 of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, has created a small headache for turnpike cops because of rubberneckers' traffic slowdowns; inside the building another problem...
Breakfast cereals used to come in boxes that contained nothing else, bearing a label with directions for cooking. Today, cereals hit the table ready to eat, bite-sized, sugar-toasted, cocoa-flavored or doughnut-shaped; their sales appeal is gauged less by flavor and nutrition than by the servings of toy automobiles, plastic submarines, code-message rings and baseball cards buried among the flakes or offered on the label. This week. Cereal Giant General Mills moves to serve a better after-breakfast bonus. On 45 million boxes of nine "Big G" cereals. General Mills will offer juvenile crunchers a serious...
...instruments are the creations of French Sculptor Francois Baschet, 42, whose musical skill is limited to strumming a bar or two on a guitar equipped with an inflatable red plastic doughnut as a sounding board.

Other points of interest during the term included the opening of the $11.5 Cambridge Electron Accelerator. whose main component is a doughnut-shaped piece of machinery 240 feet in diameter. The Atomic Energy Commission financed a large portion of the work, along with Harvard and several other participating Boston Universities. Miss Sweden paid Cambridge a visit, and ended up on a date with one of the undergraduates, Jim Ullyot. And Harvard and Radcliffe continue their gradual merger. There were two key steps: First, the Radcliffe Graduate School of Arts and Sciences was absorbed into the Harvard GSAS, Second, though...
...spaceship from earth ever cruises behind the dark side of Jupiter (never less than 460 million miles away), the crew may see a ring drawn around its darkened magnetic pole in brilliant auroral light. That bright target will illuminate the safest landing spot, the hole in the doughnut, where the explorers will be able to set down (if Jupiter has any solid surface at all) without passing through the Van Allen belt's hot and dangerous webs of energy...
