...years French governments fought jealously to keep Britain and the U.S. from "meddling" in France's North African sphere of interest. But the thesis that whatever happens in North Africa is purely a French concern was blown sky-high in the bombing of Sakiet-Sidi-Youssef (TIME, Feb. 17), and with the outraged Tunisians openly talking of war, even the French themselves could no longer maintain it. It was not over France's protest but at French invitation that the U.S. and Britain last week agreed to use their "good offices" toward settling the French quarrel with Tunisia...
...Monte Carlo, Dr. David M. Roberts, thought it might be indigestion. Next morning it was clear that whatever ailed Churchill was more than indigestion. The old warrior abandoned his plans to meet Lady Churchill, arriving from London at the Nice airport, and took to his bed. An eddy of concern welled up on the world's front pages as Dr. Roberts telephoned Sir Winston's personal physician, Lord Moran, in London. Arriving by the next plane.

There is a whole page for data about the eyes, from birth (was silver nitrate used, and if premature, was oxygen administered?) through developmental stages ("eyes move together to follow moving object") to examinations by an ophthalmologist. Need for this was established after it was found that far more children than had been realized were having eye trouble before the age of seven. There is a similar page for bones and postural development. Reflecting current concern about radiation, a section has been...
...possesses Princeton should in no wise be interpreted as evidence for the stouter moral fiber of her undergraduate body compared to that encamped around Nassau Hall. It was only the House system which redeemed her--and a philosophy of education which viewed the student social structure as a primary concern and area of legitimate jurisdiction for a great university and which sought to rebuild that structure on a principle which was the inverse of selectivity: the principle of distribution within the House, geographical, academic, economic, and intellectual, with diversity of race and religion being considered relevant only insofar as they...
