...enough to warrant a specialist, so into the Nairobi headquarters of the African Physicians' Association strode Dr. Symon Thuita to handle it. As Dr. Thuita well knew, the best way to begin any examination is by taking the patient's pulse. "If the pulse leaps like a frog," he explained, "the problem is in the throat. If it jumps like a cow, it is in the gastric system, and if it is smooth as a snake, then it is in the belly...
...Hard Feelings. Many obstacles remain to the full resumption of Dutch-Indonesian trade because, as one Dutch businessman puts it, "You cannot pluck feathers from a frog." Yet the Dutch recognize Indonesia's great trade potential and seem determined to play as large a role in restoring trade as Sukarno will allow. KLM has resumed twice-weekly flights to Djakarta. Djakarta's once large Dutch community, depleted when 200,000 Dutch left Indonesia in 1958, is growing again. Dutch newspapers and candies have reappeared in major Indonesian cities, and Djakarta radio recently played the Dutch national anthem...
...extensive security precautions in Canada's peacetime history. The Queen will visit only three cities: Charlottetown on English-speaking Prince Edward Is land, the Quebec capital of Quebec City, and the federal capital at Ottawa.

This gift is greatly evident in Fiddler on the Roof, a pleasantly nostalgic musical of Jewish community life in a tiny Russian village just prior...
...exhibits at the fair, it shows how pre-Columbian goldsmiths of America beat, hammered and cast little miracles of design. For motifs they used the swamp and sea creatures that they knew best-the frog, snake, shark, turtle, crab and crocodile. These ancient masters also made the malleable metal wriggle with curvilinear life: 2-in.-thick ear plugs, nose pendants, golden mustachios that covered the mouth. They drank from gold goblets and spangled themselves with baubles that were hinged to bounce in the light. They abstracted condors into broadtailed triangles and sought symmetry in two-headed animals...
