...having broken the Japanese "purple"' code, the U.S. knew of Japanese peace feelers to Switzerland, Sweden and Russia. At mid-month, when the Allied Big Three assembled in Berlin's satellite city of Potsdam, Stalin solicited Truman's advice about how to answer a peace-seeking note from Tokyo. Their conversation was recorded by U.S. Translator Charles Bohlen (now Special Assistant to Secretary of State Christian Herter), who took down sketchy notes, expanded upon them just last spring. "Stalin inquired of the President whether it was worthwhile to answer this communication," wrote Bohlen. "The President replied that...

Combing the town for "Belgians in disguise," Congolese police invaded Leopoldville's hotels in the early hours of the morning, turned out white occupants for inspection...
When plans were first drawn for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1912, the architect envisioned a grey, classic complex along the Charles River, with no building higher than five stories and a softly rounded dome providing the grace note. But in recent years, expanding M.I.T. has felt cramped on its 115-acre Cambridge campus. Something had to give, and what gave was M.I.T.'s low-lying skyline. The next addition to the campus, to be ready by 1962, will be the 20-story, $5,000,000 Earth Sciences* Center, designed by Alumnus Ieoh Ming...
