Room to Graze. B.A.S.F. has already outgrown Ludwigshafen, and its reach now extends far beyond the Rhine; 45% of sales, in fact, come from exports and foreign production. To expand foreign operations even more, B.A.S.F. has joined with Shell to build a fertilizer plant in Utrecht and an ammonia plant near Rotterdam, plans a $17.5 million polyethylene plant near Marseille.

Prettiest of four royal sisters and second in line of succession (after Princess Beatrix, 27), blonde, buxom Irene, 24, took off for Spain, whose culture and language she studied at the University of Utrecht. By last week, when she finally returned home, Irene had stirred bitter animosities among her people, delighted many others, flouted her family's sternest tradition, and rocked the House of Orange to its foundations.
