...pine-hemmed camp site overlooking northern California's Lake Shasta was cool and quiet, and the C. V. Cadwalla-ders, camped out there, had nothing more on their minds than a restful lunch. Then came a rising sound of motor traffic, a cloud of dust, the rasp of gravel on rubber as four automobiles slid to a stop near by. From the lead car bounded a bulky, shirtsleeved figure who plunged through the manzanita bush like a startled bull moose, thrust a hand at Mr. Cadwallader, announced simply: "I'm Senator Knowland." After five minutes of picture taking...
...most of the summer, Fish Creek (winter pop. 450), on the Wisconsin shore of Green Bay, is merely a scrubbed, pine-scented resort for well-heeled vacationers and fishermen. But for two weeks each August, the little town's white frame hotels are crowded with tourists, and the high school volleys forth provocative music expertly played. Last week the fifth Peninsula Music Festival was in full " swing in Fish Creek; as usual, it featured a bumper crop of modern premieres-half a dozen in two weeks...

Though the university is largely supported by U.S. oil-company donations and grants from the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations, plus $1,000,000 a year from the U.S. Government for scholarships, it is so scrupulous of its impartiality that it gives only one course in American...
...T.A.C. had designed a building (to be started this fall) that will be Athenian in feeling, elegant in proportion and yet modern in design. It will stand on a 66,000-sq.-ft., $500,000 site (donated by the Greek government) on Vassilissis Sofias Street between Mount Hymmittos and pine-covered Lycabettus Hill. At a press conference in Athens, Gropius calmed the remaining fears. "Athens is a sacred place," he said. "We did our best to connect the city's traditions with our own architectural concepts. But keeping the tradition does not mean to imitate...
