...part of the daily life of people." Though there was no single location at that time right for a sculpture garden, U.C.L.A.'s academic explosion provided one. Working with landscape architects and engineers, Murphy carved out a site on the new North Campus. The garden nestles amid a cluster of spanking new buildings-the business-administration and social-science centers, a research library, the theater-arts building (Macgowan Hall), and the Dickson Art Center, with its galleries, studios and classrooms...
...sent Pioneer Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into orbit in Vostok I. Although envious Western space experts have long assumed that a single giant booster had been used to launch Vostok and later Soviet spacecraft, the vehicle displayed at Paris consisted of a relatively small two-stage rocket surrounded by a cluster of four conical, strap-on rocket engines. Instead of achieving the major breakthrough in rocket technology believed by the West to have made the Gagarin flight possible, the Russians had simply strapped together enough smaller rocket engines to provide the necessary thrust...
Outnumbered 7 to 1 by Hindus, India's 60 million Moslems live largely outside the country's mainstream. They tend to mix little with Hindus, cluster in separate urban ghettos, have a different written language (Urdu), and enjoy immunities from federal laws so that they, for example, may practice polygamy while other Indians must limit themselves to one wife at a time.

Glorified Shacks. They could have made a better living doing almost anything else. They seldom stayed long in one place, toting their ramshackle presses from one cluster of shacks in the sagebrush to the next. In their papers, they glorified each new stopping place as the seed of a surging city, though in fact they often went bankrupt, and some of the towns themselves disappeared. Two San Francisco papers, the California Star and the Californian, folded overnight when the city was emptied by the 1848 gold rush. William J. Forbes, who published the Virginia City (Nev.) Daily Trespass, gave...
...Angeles, a Catholic men's school, announced their affiliation plans. Marymount will move from Palos Verdes Estates to the Loyola campus, near the Los Angeles International Airport, in 1968. Immaculate Heart, another women's school in Los Angeles, will join the coed Claremont Colleges, which pioneered the cluster-college concept, by 1970. Missouri's Webster College, where President Jacqueline Grennan (TIME, Jan. 20) resigned from the Sisters of Loretto to dramatize her belief in lay control of education, now has 75 men among its 900 girl undergraduates, and its faculty is pushing for full coed status...
