...proposal calls for converting those two organizations into one European-style economic community. It would be run by a strong Brussels-type secretariat whose policy would be to encourage the integration and diversification of the area's industries. One country, for example, would concentrate on producing enough steel to supply its own needs and those of its neighbors, while another would build up, say, a chemical-fertilizer industry. Such a market, runs Johnson's argument, would help Latin Americans help themselves by making it profitable and desirable to switch from relatively isolated national markets to trading...
...most dynamic industrial area and one of its most prosperous. San Sebastián (pop. 149,000) is the nation's summer capital and most fashionable resort, boasts the highest per capita spending rate in all of Spain. Bilbao (pop. 357,000) is a throbbing city of steel mills and shipyards, whose skies are darkened by factory smoke by day and glow with the fires of blast furnaces by night. It is also Spain's banking capital, the headquarters of two of Spain's five great banking chains. And its wide residential avenues, clogged with cars...

But there is a growing school of thought which holds that the real reason for all the sub-par golf is sub-par golf courses...
Into place atop a pedestal in front of the Smithsonian Institution's new Museum of History and Technology last week went an 8-ft.-high, stainless-steel piece of abstract sculpture designed by New York's José de Rivera, 62, and executed with the aid of fellow New York Abstractionist Roy Gussow, 48. In terms of institutional oneupmanship, the work gives the Smithsonian the distinction of placing the first abstract sculpture on the capital's Mall, which will eventually be blooming with them: Hostess Gwen Cafritz is donating an Alexander Calder stabile-mobile that will...
...building; but its architect, Walker O. Cain, called on De Rivera instead. De Rivera has titled his 20th century piece Infinity, explaining modestly that he named it that solely to prevent the U.S. Government from giving it a still more pretentious name. He made its swooping, stainless-steel lines by extruding a rod of steel and welding its ends together, alternately heating and hammering it like the village smithy-and he has become partly deaf as a result of years of this kind of work...
