Just before Nasser left for Russia, the West had given him a chance to escape any further Russian clutches. After Nasser settled the expropriated Suez Canal Co.'s claims for $81 million (TIME, May 5), Washington freed $26 million in frozen Egyptian assets, and U.S. Ambassador Raymond Hare told Nasser that the U.S. was preparing generally for a return to "normal'' relations with Cairo, was ready to resume CARE surplus food shipments, student exchanges and rural improvement aid, and to end restrictions on delivering such industrial items as ball bearings, lubricating oils and spare parts...

Prof. Wilder has with consummate skill defended the idea of commitment, an idea which comes only with the experience of constrasting the quality of education received from committed and non-committed men. I suspect that, from a religious standpoint, Harvard students will have gained a far deeper insight into the significance of Protestant thought from Dr. Buttrick's courses than from all the objective lectures...
