Interpol has just formally opened its new eight-story HQ in the fashionable Paris suburb of Saint-Cloud. Equipped with a 50-ft. rooftop antenna, the streamlined building contains a massive communications center linking member countries by radio, Telex and Teletype. Key to this network, which handled 118,000 messages last year, are Interpol's branch offices, called National Central Bureaus. The bureaus are manned by local police whose sole job is trading Interpol information with other bureaus and with Saint-Cloud.

"What satisfaction do the kings derive in sending folk of this countryside to another land and folk of another land to this countryside? What difference does it make to the Angel of Death whether he has to come...
...story-high geodesic sphere to the pioneering functionalism of Habitat 67 (where Pearson has an apartment) and Canada's own inverted pyramid Katimavik (Eskimo for gathering place). The unifying theme of the exposition, "Man and His World," is taken from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's Terre des Homines and his ringing affirmation: "To be a man is to feel that by carrying one stone you can contribute to the building of the world." Fittingly enough, there have never before been so many government sponsored exhibitions (Expo's 62 countries easily top the 42 at Brussels...
