...possible to bring home the bacon in the Middle East last week, but when the Arab cat tasted the milk of Israeli withdrawal, the process at least got started. The Syrians let the Iraq Petroleum Go. start repairing the pipeline pumping stations which Syrian soldiers blew up during the Suez-Sinai invasion last November. In ten days, by laying temporary pipes around the blasted stations, the oil company plans to begin pumping oil at 44% capacity-enough to replace nearly all of the crude oil that Western Europe has had to buy from the U.S. since the Suez landings...

By last week it was plain that, foreign policy or no, Tito was persona non grata to a vociferous segment of the American public...
Against Brown and Columbia in its two most recent contests, the Crimson first blew a game and then was outplayed by a much superior aggregation. Amherst will pose the problem of a spirited well-coordinated small college team without the ability of Columbia...
