...pregnancy, Greece's Danish-born Queen Anne-Marie, 18, has been dashing about Athens with her husband King Constantine, 25, visiting galleries, strolling hand-in-hand through the park, dining in public restaurants and attending scores of gala functions. At last the world's youngest and loveliest queen sailed with Queen Mother Frederika for Corfu. There, in Mon Repos, the royal family's summer palace by the sea, she will await the birth of her first child, expected some null in late June or early July...
Other designers' offerings ran true to form: Grės' intricate chiffons, Castillo's long slim crepes, Capucci's stiff white collars. Pierre Cardin still reigned as Lord High Poohbah of Limp, displayed a group of floppy fashions and judged the season's loveliest. But with the Big Three-St. Laurent, Balenciaga and Givenchy-still three weeks away from showtime, the season was less past than prelude. The shape of things to come may still be drastically altered-but so, of course, can dresses already ordered...

Surging traffic bewilders a stranger, with tramcars plunging the wrong way down one-way streets, pedestrians and pushcarts jaywalking heedlessly. Garbage lies uncollected around stunning glass-walled apartment buildings, and any car parked below is certain to be littered by melon rinds and pistachio shells tossed from the balconies and windows. As fast as the police write out traffic tickets, motorists throw them away, and cars are double-and triple-parked all over town...
...result is not only new efficiency and new speed in getting from place to place; almost inevitably, when a great new bridge goes up, the result is also breath-taking beauty. The very nature of the barriers that man seeks to cross makes them some of the loveliest spots on the globe-gorges, bays, broad rivers, mountain valleys, the approaches to towering cities. By necessity, bridges are the purest sort of expression of the architectural concept of form following function. A steel-arch bridge over a deep canyon cannot help completing the frame of a picture of classic beauty: rushing...
