Four seniors--Peter G. Gesell, R. Talbot Page. Benjamin H. Thomas, and James P. Martin--will go to Ethiopia, where 200 mathematics and English teachers are needed. Shinagel said that late applications may increase the Ethiopian contingent to five...
...boom is a significant symptom of change. Its cause: the influx of foreigners into the city for an endless series of conferences, all part of a determined attempt by His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, Conquering Lion of Judah, Elect of God, King of Kings, and Emperor of Ethiopia, to put his land in the vanguard of African nationalism...
...centuries, Ethiopia's proud Amharas-who claim descent from a night's roistering between King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba-shunned black Africans as barya (slaves).

"Haven't you sufficiently contaminated, with your arms tests, the air we breathe, the milk we drink, the food we eat?" cried Egypt's Foreign Minister. Some "neutrals" had well-meaning but irrelevant proposals of their own to make: Ethiopia's Acting Foreign Minister Ke-tema Yifru pleaded that Africa be declared an "atom-free zone"; Sweden's Foreign...
