Laguna's flag-bedecked festival site last week was a fenced-in, eucalyptus-shaded vacant lot two blocks from the sea.

At the World of Tomorrow, 1,214 examples of "American Art Today" show contemporary ferment among U. S. artists; not far away are hung 400 serene successes by Old and still Older Masters (TIME, June 26). To assemble all this took the combined resources of a World's Fair and a big city...
