Gursel is also unquestionably boss. He dealt with the chief challenge to his authority six weeks ago, when he summarily fired 14 younger members of the ruling junta headed by fanatical Colonel Alpaslan Turkes. These young zealots talked of setting up a thought-control office and remaking the country along authoritarian lines. They were also responsible for bringing charges of adultery and other smear-type cases against Menderes and the other fallen Democratic leaders on the ground that the Turkish peasants understood immorality but would never understand what a crime against the constitution was. When they tried to push through...
...Reds talked vaguely of offering Bolivia an uneconomic but showy smelter to refine its tin ore, the U.S. showed its cards by lending Bolivia $10 million to revamp the nationalized tin mines, which account for 67% of the impoverished nation's export income. Last week the Communists dealt off another, even bigger offer. In La Paz, Nicolai Rodionov, Soviet bureaucrat, announced that Russia would bid not only the smelter but also a $150 million low-interest, long-term loan for Russian technical aid to Bolivia's government-owned petroleum and tin corporations. Russia might also...
From Australia last week, terrible-tempered Butch Buchholz, 20, and Barry MacKay, 25, dealt another blow to U.S. amateur tennis.

...slave, but does not add that Heracles was the Queen's lover and that the two of them deceived the lustful Pan by dressing Heracles in one of Omphale's gowns and decoying the god into a darkened grotto. Such goatly matters as remain are dealt with by an adroit blending of taste and truth, e.g., "Demeter had been rather wild as a girl, and nobody could remember the name of Persephone's father; probably some country god married for a drunken joke at a harvest festival." For young classicists who outgrow such simplicity, the author forehandedly...
...sympathizer who once had been Lumumba's private secretary, now found himself in complete control of Eastern Province, which he proceeded to declare independent last week. Weeks ago Lumumba sent Salumu to Stanleyville to set the stage for a new Lumumba-run capital in competition with Leopoldville. Salumu dealt harshly with Lumumba's foes. When eleven anti-Lumumba members of the Congo's Parliament flew back to oppose the regime in Stanleyville, Salumu's men grabbed them off the plane, beat them mercilessly. One of them, Alphonse Songolo, was left blind in one eye and near...
