Ever since amateur photographers began to turn their backs on the Brownie, U.S. and foreign camera makers have concentrated on ever more gadgetry. But all too often the array of index numbers, knobs, dials and levers simply befuddled the Sunday photographer, and that telephoto shot of Versailles developed into a study in black. The industry's answer: sophisticated but carefree cameras that require little more than clicking the shutter. At the International Photographic Exposition in New York last week, every company from Agfa-Gevaert to Zeis-Ikon was showing off automated midgets...
...been four months since Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser ordered his big new win-the-war offensive in Yemen. In preparation, the Egyptian expeditionary force was beefed up to 48,000 men, and a fresh array of Soviet-made tanks, heavy artillery and jet planes was massed in the north, where the deposed Imam Badr makes his headquarters in a cave near the Saudi Arabian border. Republican President Abdullah Sallal fired his moderate Premier and gave Yemen's tough General Hassan Amri a mandate to take charge...

Atlanta hopes to set up workshops for the teachers who will teach the poor, since most are from middle-class backgrounds and may be out of touch with such children...
Despite this array of talent, Pappas is the only Oriole starter who is a sure thing to have a good season. Roberts and Haddix are getting old. Barber will have to show that he can regain his 1963 form. Bunker will be confronting the sophomore jinx, and had an unimpressive spring training...
Minnesota has a fantastic array of power hitters: Harmon Killebrew (.270, 49 homers), Tony Oliva (.323, 32 homers), Bob Allison (.287, 32 homers), Jimmie Hall (.283, 24 homers), and Earl Battey (.272, 12 homers). But the Twins had all these sluggers last year, and still finished in sixth place, a living testimony to the maxim that pitching is 75 per cent of baseball. Only Camilo Pascual (15-12) and Jim Kaat (17-11) had decent seasons, and unless Minnesota comes up with another reliable pitcher, they won't be able to finish higher than fifth...
