...Cowles family picked tough ground for missionary work. In tradition, at least, the nation's heartland has long been indifferent to foreign news, except in time of war. Buzzing gadflies in this calm atmosphere, the Cowles papers go far beyond filling their front pages with stories on international affairs from their hardworking five-man Washington bureau headed by Dick Wilson, 53. Their editorial pages take positions that are unusual for the Midwest and downright surprising for Republican publishers: they have damned the policies of Dwight Eisenhower and John Foster Dulles, praised Dean Acheson, bemoaned Chiang Kai-shek (a "lonely...

To make matters worse, the new structure was directly across from one of the gems of 18th century architecture-the revered Ecole Militaire, facing on the semicircular Place de Fontenoy on Paris' Left Bank. But except for conforming to the curve of the place, UNESCO made no concessions. It is clearly and emphatically modern...
