Intellectuals in the West made wide ly publicized protests, and eight months later Tarsis was released. He proceeded promptly to make the most of his martyrdom by writing a full report on his life in the political loony bin. Published last spring in Britain, Ward 7 was analyzed by the Western press with melancholy fascination as an up-to-date treatise on thought control in the Soviet Union (TIME, May 21). Published this week in the U.S., the book may surprise the reader who expects nothing more than a political document-it is also a work of art. Admittedly...
Royal Scandal. Nasser was dealt an even sharper blow in the Trucial States,* which lie on the Gulf side of the horn of Arabia. There, in the tiny, impoverished sheikdom of Sharja, where Britain has an R.A.F. base, Sheik Sakr bin Sultan al-Kasimi has long been the Gulf's only pro-Nasser ruler. When the Egyptian-dominated Arab League proposed a big aid program for the seven Trucial States last year, six of them turned it down at British nudging.

The royal family got the message. Denouncing his "flagrant misbehavior," it deposed Sakr, installing his pro-British cousin, Khaled bin Hamad al-Kasimi, 35, in his place. The unhappy Sakr, flown into exile by the R.A.F., was greeted in Cairo as a hero of the Arab cause...
...opened in Milwaukee, Chicago, Washington, San Francisco, Atlanta and Los Angeles. In addition, there is the A-Go-Go in Aspen, Colo., the Bucket A-Go-Go in Park City, Utah, the Frisky A-Go-Go in San Antonio, the Champagne A-Go-Go in Madison, Wis., and the Bin-Note A-Go-Go in Whitesboro, N.Y. And everywhere the couples go-going on the dance floor are like, well, old. Moans one teenager: "Nothing is sacred any more. I mean, we no sooner develop a new dance or something and our parents are doing...
