...Euphrates that will supply electricity to much of Syria, and are prospecting for oil in Egypt. In all, Soviet teams are engaged in 100 or so major projects, including the construction of a steel plant in Algeria, a railroad in Iraq, a machine-tool plant in Iran, and a fish-meal factory in Yemen. Russian culture follows the Red flag. In Alexandria, young girls are quitting belly-dance classes and attending the recently opened Russian ballet school instead. Soviet folk-dance groups and circus troupes tour the major Arab cities. Russian films play at the cinemas and on state-owned...
Double Rescue. At election time next year, Gorton will have one big factor going for him in hardy, hero-loving Australia. Flying with the Royal Australian Air Force during World War II, he was shot down in the Pacific in 1942, lived for days on turtle eggs and fish until his rescue, then went through painful plastic surgery for injuries he had received when his face "got mixed up with the instrument panel."

...effort to strengthen the economy, Castro has tried one fruitless scheme after another. He built a new, modern commercial-fishing fleet of 300 boats, then found that most Cubans simply do not care for fish.

Suddenly a friend called that Haupt was ill, with frothy blood coming from his mouth. From a local hospital, he was shuttled fast to the better-equipped Victoria Hospital, where doctors concluded that he had suffered a stroke-a massive brain hemorrhage. They saw little hope that he could survive. But since Haupt had apparently been fit, his heart was probably in good condition...
...thousand. I asked her how her health was, and she replied, "It's all right." Not contented, I pursued further: "Do you have any trouble with your health?" She said, "Well, I do have extremely high blood pressure." "Do you drink?" I asked. "Man, I drink like a fish," was her reply. It turned out that she was testing me: she had been to five gypsies before meeting me. Two of them, out of superstition, refused to read the life line because it was marked with a distinct scar. The other three told her that she would not survive...
