...dizzy weeks of independence, French officials in Tunisia were curtly told to "conform with Moslem customs," e.g., eight hours of uninterrupted work daily, no long lunch hours, Friday instead of Sunday holidays. Even Premier Bourguiba could not resist saying, "When I see a French gendarme, I choke with anger." He fired all 2,500 French cops and customs officials and several thousand minor French bureaucrats, replacing them with Tunisians. As a result, 50,000 Frenchmen (approximately 30%) have left Tunisia for France. Several weeks ago, faced with a shortage of skilled Arabs to run his administration, Bourguiba offered...

Reason: the Johnson-Rayburn emphasis on budget cutting means hacking away at programs for which the national Democratic Party has long stood...
...hear what Lucky Jim is really too gentle to tell, the reader must turn to an unlucky Jim-James Porter, irascible hero of John Osborne's play, Look Back in Anger (TIME, April 22). Look Back is a high-decibel three-act diatribe, mainly on mom, wife, God and country. Hero Jimmy has just written a poem called "The Cess Pool." His wife hovers over an ironing board-one of the endemic props of this school of social realism, together with dirty dishes and wet "nappies"' (diapers). At the slightest provocation Jimmy turns into a verbal epileptic, particularly...
