...which by some invisible, mysterious means 'jive' with the architecture." Breuer was talking to TIME Researcher Martha Peter Welch, who called on him last week to get his views on the relationship of outdoor sculpture to modern architecture. From the Parthenon Breuer moved quickly on to his UNESCO building, which is being put up in Paris with sculpture and murals by Henry Moore, Alexander Calder, Arp, Miro and Picasso. As Breuer talked, he doodled his ideas on a piece of paper lying on his desk (see cut). The story and the page of color pictures that started...
...problems in painting!" Such rumblings give the art world warning that the volcano is still alive, may erupt again before the world's astonished eyes. The most demanding commission of his career is now directly ahead of him-a huge mural for Paris' new headquarters for UNESCO. What its subject will be Picasso does not hint.

With effective assistance from Houston's strong corps of Minute Women, the right-wingers have waged a continuous war against teaching about the United Nations or using any UNESCO material in the schools.

When Aramco and Saudi Arabian officials got bogged down in a Geneva conference last year, they called on the school for English-Arabic translators to help the negotiators out. In a sense, says Stelling-Michaud, the Geneva alumnus is rapidly becoming the indispensable international man. "In European organizations...
Jack London, who is the most popular and widely translated U.S. author in Russia and Iron Curtain countries (according to UNESCO), first became famous just after the turn of the century with three stories-two about dogs and one about a man. They closely resembled each other. Buck was a Saint Bernard and the dog in all the world least likely ever to be drawn by James Thurber, who found life too tame on the trail in The Call of the Wild and joined a wolf pack. White Fang told of a wolf that left Alaska to become civilized...
