...church had commissioned the portals from Sicilian-born Sculptor Emilio Greco, 56, a friend and admirer of Giacomo Manzu, who designed the impressive bronze Doors of Death for St. Peter's basilica in Rome. For the main entrance, Greco created a 24-ft.-high, two-ton bronze relief depicting Catholicism's seven corporal works of mercy. One scene, for example, showed Pope John XXIII on his visit to Rome's Regina Coeli prison in 1958; Greco's presentation of burying the dead uses angled limbs and tortured faces to convey a strong sense of grief...

I.B.P. has benefited from the new public concern over deterioration of the environment. And Congress, led by Connecticut's Representative Emilio Daddario and Maine's Senator Edmund Muskie, has been generous. At a time when funds for most other scientific-research projects have been slashed, I.B.P. has been getting more and more money: $500,000 in fiscal 1969, $4,000,000 in 1970, and $7,000,000 next year...
