...Gallery of Art, will rise the $15 million Joseph H. Hirshhorn Museum for the $25450 million Hirshhorn gift of sculpture and paintings. Architect Gordon Bunshaft has designed a massive doughnut, to be clad in marble, as sculptural as any created by Isamu Noguchi and so vast that Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum would drop neatly into the hole. The new five-level museum will add a revolution ary new presence, from its coffered concrete underside (the museum will actually "float" above its plaza on four muscular piers) to its eccentric center court, purposely designed off-center so that...

The third is being evaluated in laboratories at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. Since MIG-21s sometimes challenge U.S. pilots over North Viet Nam, the Air Force hopes to learn things that will be useful in the air war there...

Texas' Mickey Wright, looking for her fifth Open title, shot an 80 in the second round; Louise Suggs, a two-time winner, pulled to within one stroke of Catherine-only to overshoot the green on the par-five, 534-yd. 16th hole and take a double-bogey seven. Playing methodical, unspectacular golf from tee to green and putting superbly, Catherine opened up a seven-stroke lead that put the tournament safely out of reach, despite a case of last-round jitters-six bogeys in seven holes.
