...effect been run by an uneasy coalition between the King, who became a national hero after the French made the mistake of exiling him in 1953. and the ultra-nationalist Istiqlal Party, which led the agitation for independence. Recognizing Istiqlal strength, Mohammed filled his Cabinet with Istiqlal men but chose as first Premier pro-Western Si M'Barek ben Mustapha el Bekkai, a man without a party. Fortnight ago, at 4:30 one morning, the King had to summon Si Bekkai to his palace and proclaim his government dissolved...
...went up to the 17th tee on the final afternoon tied for the lead, matching stroke for stroke with the coolest customer on the course: Canada's balding tournament traveler, Stan Leonard. 42.

The J83 engine soon proved so promising for light jet aircraft that General Dynamics' Canadian subsidiary, Canadair Ltd., chose it as the power plant for the prototype of its new CL-41 trainer, and Lockheed will also use it for its Jet-Star executive transport. Fairchild added half a dozen other lines, from electronic guidance systems for missiles to an aluminum bridge much like a plane wing, in hopes of winning a slice...
