...headquarters of the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization. Italian troops stole the obelisk from the ancient Ethiopian capital at Aksum, and Mussolini had it set up in Rome. Ethiopians want it back, but the Italians have maintained that the shaft is too weak to be moved. Moreover, neo-Fascist extremists would probably raise a ruckus if Il Duce's trophy were taken away...
Just in time for Christmas, the Tunisian state publishing monopoly has announced that it is putting President Habib Bourguiba's choicest speeches on no fewer than 485 long-playing records costing a mere $ 1 each.

At one end of the scale, some of the buildings look like neo-Dickensian piles of brick. But the campus is saved from mediocrity by Architects Kevin Roche & John Dinkeloo. Charged with the design of five buildings, including a student union and facilities for physical education, they began by recognizing the harsh climate. In Rochester in winter, it is cold outside. What might...
