There was an international item for the deep thinkers: zoos in London and Moscow had agreed on a trade in snakes; and a social tidbit for the gossip column: a cow of Victoria, Australia, whose husband had lived in Bucks County, Pa. since 1939, gave birth to a calf. It was all legitimate, however. The father, Imperial Regal Heritage of the Jersey Island Jerseys (he had left home on the last ship before the Nazis moved in), achieved his parenthood through artificial insemination over the longest distance yet recorded.

Ever since the killing of Patron Huey Long, L.S.U. has tried to get out from under a reputation for control by politicians. Last week, after a five-month search, L.S.U.'s Board of Supervisors picked a new president. They had deliberately gone outside the state to find...
