The glistening spires, looming dramatically over the flat glass rectangles of the rest of the campus, seem almost transparent to the sun, so light that their tips look as if they were brushing the sky. No one can remain indifferent to the Air Force Academy Chapel: to some it has an awesome grace, to others a forbidding inhumanity (see color). This sort of controversy suits 42-year-old Architect...

Still troubled by all too recent memories of the Boche, Parisians showed only muted enthusiasm for the visitor, but at a state dinner at the Elysée Palace, De Gaulle offered an emotional toast and a special history lesson: "However badly founded were the immediate motives of our wars, however inopportune their execution, however ruinous their results, it was a great cause which was fundamentally...
