Scientists of nations without atomic weapons are almost unanimously opposed to large-scale testing. Italian scientists, from Roman Catholics to Communists, agree that too little is known to justify taking risks with the world's health. Most German scientists feel the same way. The Japanese, who get fallout from both east and west, are especially emphatic. They believe that fission products now in the stratosphere may be dangerous already and will surely become so unless the testing is stopped. Says Physicist Mitsuo Taketani of Rikkyo University: "The U.S. and the U.S.S.R. are not testing now. They are conducting nuclear...
Breuer's partial answer to the objections was to use similar materials (old German limestone), match up cornice lines, and reduce scale by dividing the embassy into two building's connected by a glassed-in passageway. Now, with The Hague's burgomaster, planning commission and local architects behind him, Breuer is convinced that by the time the embassy is completed in the fall of 1958, people, including even the steadfast Hagenaars, will be prepared to accept and admire...

It was the Vanguard that sent Harry Belafonte, a run-of-the-scale crooner six years ago, on his way to being the most popular balladeer of his day. But last week the venerable Vanguard reluctantly conceded that, like many another Manhattan nightclub, it had lost most of its old audience; in June it will go after a different clientele by reopening...
Bitterly hurt, Louise retreated to Paris, where John Mackay bought her a mansion on the Rue de Tilsitt that was ''like the Palace Hotel, only on a smaller scale." She was quick to see that to Europeans it was completely unimportant that she had been snubbed in Manhattan. London and Paris expected lavish entertainment from Americans, not lineage. For two decades Louise Mackay supplied the entertainment. Her parties had a Babylonian magnificence, from "eighteen footmen on the stairs to the bowls of out-of-season violets in the blue salon." Her guests included the British royal family...
