...series of successful U.S. missile shots was a comforting background in Paris last week, as the NATO Council of Foreign Ministers rejected the Kremlin's plan to make West Berlin a demilitarized "free city.'' The NATO ministers gave short shrift to neutralist disengagement schemes, held fast to the basic point that Germany must be reunited by free elections, with free choice on whether or not to join NATO. Said NATO's commanding general in Europe. Lauris Norstad: "There must be absolutely no misunderstanding about the determination of this alliance to use nuclear weapons in case...

Using a tractor for power, Turner soon had the well producing as much oil in a day as the Starr Co. pump had produced in a month...
...fast-growing, already seam-split junior college on the outskirts of Los Angeles is likely to be the battleground for California's hottest educational fight during the next few months. The issue at Compton College: President Paul Martin's use-or misuse, depending on which violently opposed viewpoint is taken-of educational television. Within the college, teachers mutter moodily of "1984"-or support Martin enthusiastically. Outside, bitter opposition is building; a few days ago the 90,000-member California Teachers Association condemned Compton's plan, asked the University of California to consider refusing to recognize credits earned...
