As one Russian military adviser recently told an East European ambassador in Cairo, it will take "a generation" for Egyptian military skills to exceed Israel's. Whether the Egyptians or their brethren in other Arab lands will want to wait that long is, to say the least, questionable...

He has strengthened the teaching of sciences and created the rank of "distinguished professor," a device that allows the university to exceed authorized salaries to attract better teachers. Taking a strong stand against segregation, he has worked to increase black enrollment (103 out of 6,000). He shows a thoughtful understanding of student dissent and told a group of Memphis businessmen this year that sending in police is bad because it drives uncommitted students...
