...bold architectural venture, the results have often met with a mixed critical reaction. Eero Saarinen's Oslo embassy (opposite) has been warmly praised, while his nearly completed London embassy, which combines traditional Portland stone with straw-colored aluminum trim, has been sharply taken to task for being too brash and bright. In New Delhi, Edward D. Stone adopted the form of an Indian temple and wrapped it with a lacy grille that lights up like a jewel box at night. The New Delhi embassy has been so widely admired that it now stays open on Sundays to accommodate...
Both the Crown Prince and the lieu tenant commander share a natural flam boyance. At 31, Moulay Hassan is a slim, handsome young man with a taste for fast cars, fleet horses. French starlets, huge signet rings and narrow, pointed shoes. Commander Blair, 43, is a brash, talkative Texan who describes Moulay Hassan as "one of the most able men alive today." As public relations officer at the U.S. naval base at Kenitra, Blair kept the prince supplied with gifts from the PX. He further endeared himself to court circles by presenting attractive Princess Lalla Aisha, 29, with a cowgirl...
...Auden's revisions are one sign that he takes his poetry seriously-and knows that it is influential. Even more than T. S.

Above all, Auden's work suggests that there is nothing a poet cannot write poetry about, and most young poets since the early '30s have borrowed his air of verbal freedom. With wit to spare, cleverness sometimes beyond bearing, and effortless technique...
...Auden may well have said everything of value he ever will say, but on the whole he restates it effectively. Homage to Clio-poems written during the past five years-is the work of the self-revised, settled Auden, but it still offers a reasonably varied mixture. The earlier, brash Auden still reappears occasionally with bits of wise-guy fluff...
Died. José Humberto Sosa Molina, 67, brash, bulky (more than 200 Ibs.) Argentine army general and ex-Dictator Juan Perón's last Minister of Defense, who crushed the June 1955 anti-Perón naval revolt, failed to stop the September revolution, which swept him and his boss out of power; of a heart attack; in Buenos Aires. Among Sosa Molina's rewards for carrying out Perón's dirty work: 265 car import licenses, each worth more than...
