Fourteen leotard-clad 'Cliffies rolled around the living room floor of traditionally staid Cabot Hall last night, in the second of the informal, after-dinner Yoga classes offered this year...
...fabled pink city of Jaipur, the leaders of India's ruling Congress Party talked themselves hoarse last week in the first intensive effort to refurbish their political image since independence came in 1947. Propped on sausage-shaped bolsters under a huge portrait of Gandhi, the dhoti-clad politicians pledged "self-sacrifice" and "democratic socialism"-and at mealtimes roared off in fin-tailed limousines. Endorsing "non-alignment," party leaders warned ritualistically against "entanglement with military blocs"-even as U.S., British and Indian warplanes flew over New Delhi in joint air exercises. After a six-hour debate on the definition...
...government, which heavily subsidizes all colleges, tried to force complete segregation. It was successfully fought off by alumni, faculty, and students, who asserted that the government sought to violate the autonomy of the universities. But in 1959, despite a march through downtown Johannesburg by 2,500 students and faculty clad in academic robes, the government passed the "Extention of University of Education Act."

At Tamky, under a faded tent, he was told about a search-and-clear operation designed to flush the Viet Cong out of hill country 20 miles...
...gets a boot out of barging around mountains (two years ago he loped up Japan's 12,388-ft. Mount Fuji), now was set on 19,317-ft. Mount Kilimanjaro. "This is not a dangerous climb, just a long, hard walk," said Stew, and up he went casually clad in climbing pants, sports shirt and sweater. That was a bit skimpy for the hidden throes of Kilimanjaro-one seasoned mountaineer in the party collapsed from the altitude-but puffing and wheezing, Udall hauled himself onto the summit three days after starting. "It's something you do once...
