...land of Egypt. "Egypt is a country without a leader," he says. "I am a leader without a country." Accordingly, he has bought and bullied his way into the Arabs' first solid military and political alliances since the breakup of Nasser's United Arab Republic in 1961. Eighteen months ago, he got Egypt and Syria to join in a "Federation of Arab Republics" with Libya. Later this year he is set to join Libya with Egypt in a full-scale political merger. Egypt's Anwar Sadat, whom Gaddafi detests, will be the President, and Cairo will...
There is inevitably less change among assistant, associate, and full professors, especially in an eighteen month period, because turnover is slow and relatively few women and minority persons have entered certain specialized fields, particularly in the sciences, where many appointments are made. Nevertheless, in October 1971 67 (4.4 per cent) minority persons and 64 (4.2 per cent) women held professorial positions. Today, 74 (4.8 per cent) minority persons and 88 (5.7 per cent) women occupy such positions...

Several bills are coming before Congress this session, with comparable variance of language and terms. The foremost is a two-tiered approach set forth in a bill proposed by Senator Lowell...
...hair has remained. Now all the straights sport it. The barber talks on about a world gone into reverse. Nixon has toured Communist China, which is now in the U.N. The Empire State Building is no longer the tallest building in the world. The World Trade Center is. Eighteen-year-olds can vote. The New York Giants will soon play in New Jersey. In the American League, pitchers will no longer...
