...look upon such things in which the Class of 1961 has excelled, such as (exempla gratia) football and crew. Furthermore, as Ecclesiastes warned, much study is a weariness of the flesh (12:12), and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow (1:18). And, as St. Paul has said (I.

Those in Amman and Beirut were sealed off from action by censorship or travel restrictions. Editors urgently ordered new shifts in their European bureaus to get extra men to Cairo, as well as to Tel Aviv and the British-French base on Cyprus. A dozen correspondents rushing to the Middle East were stranded in Athens when...
