...first visit to Moscow, in August, Rademaekers was assigned by Intourist to a spacious room in the Rossia Hotel. The view included St. Basil's Cathedral and the famed chime bells of the Spasskaya clock tower in the Kremlin Wall. "Like other Americans there," he recalls, "I did not complain, and I spent money, which is highly regarded by Intourist." Less than two months later, Rademaekers, while in Paris, applied for another Soviet visa and bought his Intourist coupons through a French travel agency. Thus began an amusing case of confused identity...
Desperate Shortage. Today the college's spacious 127-acre Western campus (20 minutes from San Francisco by freeway) also contains glossy ultramodern buildings, and its 770 students are broadly drawn from 45 states and 24 countries; nearly a fourth of the girls get financial help to meet the $3,000 annual charges. No longer interested in a protective, genteel education, Mills girls plunge eagerly into such unsheltered activities as tutoring Negro youngsters in Oakland and studying city government by taking part-time municipal jobs. Blessed with a legion of loyal and generous alumnae, Mills has nearly doubled faculty salaries...

More Stately Mansions, however, is more like a becalmed Flying Dutchman on which trapped passengers spend three hours torturing one another and ranting about their fate. On the spacious stage of Los Angeles' elegant Ahmanson Theater, site of the play's U.S. premiere last week, Mansions stays within hailing distance of the playgoer's interest, but it never gets heartbeat close...
...totally different vein, New Haven's Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo & Assocs. has designed the buoyant $10,000,000 National Aquarium to be transparently clear and open. Located at Haines Point, in spacious Potomac Park, it is to be crowned by a 114-ft.-high greenhouse, shaped like a streamlined horseshoe, which will permit scientists from the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife to construct complete ecologies, or natural environments, within it. Reconstructed portions of the Florida Everglades, coral reefs and East and West Coast tidal pools will display not only fish but also insects and even birds in native...
