Grace & Delight. So pleased was the Pakistani government with the new reactor that last week it gave Stone the staggering commission to design its new capital at Islamabad. Working with a budget approaching $100 million, Stone will design five government structures, including the presidential residence, in the new capital's 50-block central core...
...offbeat: from Uncle Tony Taylor in Texas, a set of six silver syllabub cups that had belonged to Grandmother Minnie Lee Patillo Taylor; Texas-shaped cookie cutters from Mrs. Jake Pickle, wife of the Congressman who holds L.B.J.'s old seat; from Mrs. Orville Freeman, a jeweled Pakistani nose ring, symbolizing female submission to her mate (who, vows the bride, will never become "Mister Luci Johnson"). The bipartisan House leadership took up a collection for a congressional gift, but Iowa Republican H. R. Gross grouched that he was not going to contribute $5 for an "heiress...

During last summer's Indo-Pakistani border war, Ayub lost some 500 armored vehicles and nearly one-third of his air force. Since the U.S. and Britain -his principal suppliers of weaponry -had refused to replenish Ayub's stores, he turned to Red China, whose leaders were happy to turn a political profit. No sooner had the tank-and-jet performance completed last week's "Pakistan Day" celebrations than the Chinese collected the first installment of Ayub's debt. Into Rawalpindi flew Red Chinese President Liu Shao-chi and Foreign Minister Chen Yi for five days...
