...also: ¶Issued, with Mexico's visiting President Adolfo Lopez Mateos, a communique that reaffirmed Mexican-U.S. ideals, spent half an hour with Premier Abdallah Ibrahim of Morocco, presumably talking over Morocco's reluctance to renew the lease of key U.S. air bases. ¶Accepted with regret the resignation of Virginia's former Governor John S. Battle from the Civil Rights Commission, started the tough job of finding another Southerner to serve in Battle's place. ¶Nominated John D.

If Harrison's experiments turned out to be disastrous failures, those brave new forms at Ronchamp and Bear Run resulted in magnificent accomplishments. It is achievements such as these which have given our century the most exciting buildings...
