...plan. Only two days before his news conference, Almond and Virginia had got a vaccination against the infection they feared. In Norfolk (pop. 314,600), where 10,000 pupils are still locked out, voters decided 12,333 to 8,781 against petitioning Almond to return their schools to local control, thus let them open integrated.

When Washington declared that it would defend West Berlin as if it were U.S. soil, Pravda jeered that "the creation of a war psychosis" could not keep the peace-loving Soviet Union from unselfishly handing over its control of the Allied traffic to West Berlin to its puppet government. A six-man Soviet-East German commission met in East Berlin to arrange take-over details. "Once again the eyes of the world are upon us," tough Socialist Mayor Willy Brandt (see box) told West Berlin's Parliament. "We have no weapons, but we have a right to live...
Some Adenauer supporters in Bonn urged the Western powers to drive tanks and armed convoys across the no miles to West Berlin rather than recognize any East German right of control.

Soon birth-control advocates found themselves accused of the heinous crime of "neo-Malthusianism," and China's teeming manpower became officially no longer a problem but the nation's greatest asset...
Sudanese cotton, faced with dissidents in his own Cabinet, Khalil could see governmental control slipping to his pro-Nasser rival, Ismail el Azhari, who recently predicted for Khalil "the fate of Nuri as-Said," the murdered Premier of Iraq. The fate of Nuri is also what provoked Abboud to prepare his plot. He got set for his coup while Ismail was conferring in Cairo with Nasser. Khalil could depend on the army, since he personally conducted a purge in 1956. when every officer was "scrutinized for his political views." More important. Abboud's second-in-command. Major General Ahmed...
