...official photo-muralist of the Department of the Interior. But the comment illustrates a fundamental need of the viewer; a photograph must be somehow associable with him. Because he lacks or rejects the use of human scale, Adams' photographs are most effective on three-and four-foot panels. Everything is larger than life; he chooses subjects before which a human being stands tiny and speechless...
Down upon arid Aden last week poured a torrent of rain so great that four-foot floods washed through the streets, cutting electricity and water service, destroying food and-such is the temper of the place-ruining large caches of ammunition stored secretly in many homes. The downpour, the worst in recorded history, delayed for a while the arrival of some distinguished visitors: a three-man team of United Nations observers sent to investigate the difficulties that Aden is experiencing in its transition to independence from Britain in 1968.

To most men-laymen and lawmen alike-women are physically unfitted for the grueling ordeals of trial work, and emotionally "too kind and forgiving." In reaction to male prejudice, until fairly recently many women attorneys dressed mannishly, cussed like troopers-and thereby forfeited one of their most potent weapons: feminine intuition and charm...
M.I.T. rowed as a guest in every contest except the varsity race, and the Engineer's four-foot victory over the Crimson JV's kept the lightweights from attaining a clean sweep in Saturday's regatta. The freshman lightweights kept their victory streak alive with a two-length win over M.I.T...
