...room's vast elongation without removing an inch of space. From the first balcony, they explode like flowers suddenly bursting into bloom. Higher up, the slender wires attract attention: hundreds of cats' cradles that seem to have the delicacy of spiders' webs. The sculptures weigh a total of five tons, but they seem to keep afloat through some inner power of their...
...request to the U.S. to send additional military equipment to the U.N. Congo force. The U.S. responded last week by naming Lieut. General Louis W. Truman, 54, a bantam, 150-lb.
