There she is, alone in the jungle, menaced by a great, girl-eating tiger. She buys him off with her beautiful green sash. Then an alligator wants to eat her. Thinking fast, she trades her little blue dress for her life. And so it goes, as tropical stripteaser Little White Squibba faces more perils than Pauline. Squibba is the heroine of a just-published British children's book by the late Helen Bannerman, famed for her 1899 classic Little Black Sambo. The manuscript had been in her lawyer's safe for 20 years. But why is Squibba white...

With world population in the past five years growing twice as fast, at 2% a year, as food output, man's struggle against hunger has reached a historic turning point. It has already forced dozens of ill-fed countries to start reshaping their pride-twisted economies. It has upset old notions of geopolitics. Most dramatic of all, it has virtually eaten up the perennial overproduction of U.S. agriculture, whose bounty now feeds one out of every 20 persons in Africa, Latin America and non-Communist Asia...

Even Faster. Operating every three hours during the day, a fast train shuttle could cut the time of the 142-mile New York-Albany trip by a third, to not much more than the two hours it takes by air. The probable cost: $5, or $1.78 less than the present train fare, and about $8 less than the price of a plane ticket. Special high-speed trains now being developed by the Budd Co. and United Aircraft may roll up passenger traffic-and profits-even faster...
