Ostensibly to bid goodbye on the eve of a four-week Italian vacation, Adenauer went to see outgoing President Theodor Heuss, 75, who has served the constitutional limit of two five-year terms. For two hours the two elders talked about the role of the presidency. That night at home, Adenauer talked heart to heart with his son Paul until midnight. Next morning he complained that he had hardly slept-but he had made his decision...

As other pack rats yearn for stamps, china cygnets, or shrunken human heads, De Henriquez cherishes the debris of the battlefield.

Direction of the workshop rests with Mirko Basldella, noted Italian artist who joined the Department two years ago. Under his guidance students experiment with the properties of line, color, texture and the various media. The courses are not directed to architectural design but are rather concerned with having the student gain experience with "the fundamentals of design" in its widest sense; and consequently the students play with three dimensional wire models, geometric patterns, and metal masks. The presence of a first rate artist directing the courses is note-worthy; it is comparable in kind, if perhaps not in degree...
