...early bird gets the history and literature of Europe in copious quantities. Comp. List. 157 savors "German Drama from Kleist to the Expressionists in Its European Context" for those who read German, while the philosophers Hegel, Nietzsche, and Kierkegaard take a going over from Dr.--(Phil. 131), who seems to be teaching a lot of courses this year.

...then, TIME LISTINGS calls attention to daily programs that are too copious to be listed in the ordinary manner but too interesting to be steadily ignored. Such a program is Discovery '63, a children's show on ABC, 4:30-4:55 p.m. weekdays, which ranges skillfully and educationally through a host of subjects and themes. In the coming week, for example, Discovery '63 covers unusual zoo animals, the U.S.'s Gemini space project, micro-projection of tiny objects and organisms, a trip through Washington, B.C., with Interior Secretary Udall, and a visit to the Smithsonian...
