...first Romans to visit Geneva was Julius Caesar, who 2,000 years ago destroyed a bridge there to keep the Helvetians from crossing the Rhone River. Last week another historic Roman personage was in Geneva, not to destroy bridges but to build them. As part of the seventh, briefest, and quite possibly busiest trip abroad of his pontificate, Pope Paul VI paid an unprecedented "fraternal visit" to the headquarters of the World Council of Churches in the city of John Calvin and Rousseau...
Russia might have done better in maintaining its leadership of the Communist world if the Soviet model were more attractive. Despite the Soviets' excellence in weaponry, space, aeronautics and many other scientific pursuits, they have failed to build either an effective, well-balanced economy or a pleasing life style. Soviet economic weakness is, in fact, a major reason that the Russians must use force in order to keep their grip on Eastern Europe. The Eastern European countries badly need outside aid in order to overhaul and modernize their industries. Since the Soviets cannot provide the aid without harming their...
Immense Pressures. Israeli officials are convinced that while the fedayeen are constantly trying to build up fresh cells of supporters among Arabs in Israeli-held territory, most of them can be quickly broken up.

He argues that the construction industry must be radically changed and modernized, and he has written two papers on ways to apply computers to do it. "The current system, under which materials are bought piecemeal, maximizes costs instead of profits," he says. "Building design can be programmed into a computer, and the more prefabrication you can accomplish, the less costly the building will...
...they are fitting out,the 115,000-ton tanker Manhattan as an icebreaker for a pioneering-and perilous-test run through the long ice-choked Northwest Passage to the Arctic next month. Denver's King Resources Co., wagering that the Manhattan will make it, has drafted plans to build a deep-water port in Maine's Casco Bay. That port is even closer to the North Slope than Seattle is. No Alaskan oil is expected to be delivered to any of the "lower 48" states before 1972 at the earliest. But its existence may provide Congress with...
