...Thailand the TIME group was received by King Bhumibol Adulyadej at his Bangkok palace, surrounded by green lawns and hedges neatly fashioned into the shapes of elephants, alligators and birds. In the Gomain Room (so named for a red precious stone, said to be clearer than a ruby), the King spoke of the closeness of Thai-U.S. relations. Then he showed the visitors some of his canvases-the monarch is a dedicated amateur painter. The pictures included one showing a blur of writhing demons in browns, greens and reds titled Subversion...
Brightness from Stone. For a paltry budget of $300 a year, Rosenberg has assembled an unsurpassed teaching collection of modern prints since his appointment as a Fogg curator in 1939. All of the works in the show? two-thirds of which were acquired over the years by Rosenberg? have increased tenfold in value. A Kirchner woodcut bought in 1945 for $90 is now worth $2,000. Klee's 1923 lithograph, Tight rope Walker, cost him $40, and now would command 15 times the price...
...cast concrete, sometimes in a giant sandbox. A huge slab relief dominates the playground entrance. Two 8-ft.-tall diamond-shaped fountains gurgle water through faceted gutters, and an 80-ft.-long stucco mural wall borders the childrens' plaza.

Stone's Weekly" will address a crowd of "hopefully and maybe more," in Boston Common, Peter Orris '67, group spokesman said last night. The crowd will then march to Post Office Square and mail more letters to Johnson...
...hopelessly bent, and McKillip bruised an arm. The solution seemed obvious: slow down. But that didn't work, either: Steersman James Hickey took the four-man G.M. sled into Devil's Dyke so slowly that it could not hold the wall. The sled dropped like a stone from the face of the curve, and the runners were damaged in the fall. As a final indignity, the U.S. wound up using an old Podar sled for the two-man race. Steersman McKillip leaped in feet first-and put one leg right through the steering wheel. At that point...
