NATIONS ON PARADE THE STAND OF FOREIGN FLAGS gracing the Court of Nations is the big attention-getter here. Each country exhibiting at the Fair is represented. Beyond is a sizeable wedge of the International Area with its intriguing sights and sounds. In the center is the circular African pavilion and its needle-roofed rondevals; at right is Pakistan and behind it, a Brass Rail "marshmallow" snack bar. Seven distinctive pavilions in background (reading clockwise from the right) are Sudan (only half of it shows); Morocco, Greece, Philippines, Lebanon, the United Arab Republic (Egypt) and Jordan.
