...Save Two Men. As long as the weather was bad, it made no difference what anyone said; nobody could have reached the climbers in any case. Two days later, however, when the sky cleared, a Piper Cub, filled with blankets, food and medicine, took off from the French air-force base at Le Fayet, 20 kilometers down the valley. With an Alpine guide aboard to plot the route, the little plane spotted the climbers on a treacherous northern slope close to the edge of a snow cliff that threatened to break away at any minute. The pilot could...
...first week of Indonesia's corruption-ridden and strife-torn eighth year of independence, there was much food for thought. The huge island of Sumatra (whose oil and rubber provide two-thirds of Indonesia's export revenue) was in open revolt against the government. Sumatrans complain that the national government, sitting in the Java capital of Djakarta, is too Java-centered.* Last week in North Sumatra, three of four government regiments were reportedly rallying to the support of Rebel Leader Colonel Maludin Simbolon, once the rising star of the Indonesian army, who is in hiding in the hills...
...expiring Council did, of course, make reports too. There was the "Ticket Distribution" report which equivocally recommended that undergraduates receive seats in section 30, while former lettermen and Varsity Club members, current residents of section 30, retain their privileged seats.

Said the ticket report: "We have been unable to obtain an exact accounting for all tickets in Section 31. A cursory observation would seem to indicate that some of these tickets are used by groups other than these listed". The Food Committee was repeatedly promised but never given a copy of the Dining Hall budget...
...those admitted later. With the early admissions, for whom surgery offers the least risk, he follows tradition and operates promptly; the later admissions, for whom surgery would be more hazardous, he treats with drugs. He lets these rest in bed in any position they find comfortable, allows no food and only water to drink, gives them penicillin injections (250,000 units) every six hours, and in severe cases adds another antibiotic or one of the sulfas. To relieve pain, he gives meperidine or morphine...
