Encouraged, many Cypriots hopefully jumped to the conclusion that the British would take the next logical step: bring back the exiled Archbishop Makarios and resume negotiations. After all, why was it necessary to continue to demand of him a denunciation of violence if violence had ceased...
...last fortnight there had been many incidents but no serious outbreaks on Israel's borders since U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold won his cease-fire last April. At that point, however, Hammarskjold, the usually quiet Swede, felt impelled to make a loud protest. He announced that he would demand that the Jordan government "punish the transgressors" who killed four Israeli bus passengers a few nights earlier.

Last week, aware that the university depends heavily on American good will and contributions, President Asato complied with Diffenderfer's demand, wrote him that the university "apologizes to the American people here and wherever they may be for the conduct of our students."

...optimism stems from a new kind of operation of the old law of supply and demand−with overtones of Government action. The Agriculture Marketing Service estimates that farmers will harvest 24% less oats, 3% less corn, 10% less barley, 21% less sorghum grain, 5% less hay than they did in 1955. Main reasons are drought and cold weather, which not only cut yield per acre but also prompted farmers to plow their damaged crops under and join the Federal Government's soil bank. Since the soil-bank plan was inaugurated in late May, more than 10.7 million acres...
