...Glitter on the Lagoon. Last week in New Delhi, Chief Justice Earl Warren took time out from his crowded traveler's agenda to set the cornerstone for the handsomest new embassy to date, a $1,000,000, gilded-aluminum columned, concrete-and-marble chancery. Its designer: Manhattan Architect Edward D. Stone, a co-designer of Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art and architect for Panama's superdeluxe, 300-room El Panama Hotel.

In back streets, darkly mysterious houses lurk behind high wire fences suggestive of darker and more mysterious doings within. Newsmen recently counted 27 separate agencies of Western intelligence known to be at work in Berlin. Their operatives-some fashionably clothed in the grey flannel of New York's Madison Avenue, some with armpit holsters bulging under blue serge-report to different headquarters, and rarely know what their colleagues...
