...elected 39,364 local councillors. These councillors would become members of Nasser's National Union, which, he insisted, is "not a single-party system but the framework within which the revolution now beginning will take place." Local councillors will choose provincial councillors, who in turn will elect a General Council for the whole United Arab Republic. From this council President Nasser himself will select a new National Assembly to draft the constitution for his "socialist, democratic and cooperative society...
...wound up as commissioner of Massachusetts' department of mental diseases. When terrible-tempered Governor James Michael Curley fired him in 1936, U.S. Interior Secretary Harold Ickes hired him as head of St. Elizabeths, a federal hospital. Teaching at George Washington University, he concentrated on spreading psychiatry among general practitioners because "there will never be enough psychiatrists to go around." His sane humanism -he is a book collector, music lover, once served as moderator of the American Unitarian Association-stood him in good stead at St. Elizabeths, where he lives with his family. For 13 years he endured endless legal...
Njoroge's quest for his M.D. would make the arduous road of the average U.S. medical student look like roses all the way. Son of a Kikuyu Christian who ran a small general store, Njoroge wanted to go to a U.S. college.

In London, broader-minded officials gave him a permit to study...
Undaunted, Author Vian, an early-flowering French beatnique with a strong commercial sense, went on to write hit songs, cabaret acts, serious plays. He even translated some books that were actually American: General Omar Bradley's A Soldier's Story, The Three Faces of Eve, Young Man with a Horn, The Man with the Golden Arm. But Vian's greatest success was still The Spitter, and to ensure accuracy in the movie version, the producer sent Director Michel Gast to the U.S. to soak up atmosphere. The outlandish results seemed more than satisfactory to French critics. "Nothing...
...Oberlin College in Ohio, a new denomination of U.S. Protestantism was being born. The United Church of Christ began to come into being two years ago in Cleveland (TIME, July 1, 1957), when the General Council of the Congregational Christian Churches (membership: 1,401,565) agreed to merge with the Evangelical and Reformed Church (membership: 807,280). Working out an organic union between the two bodies is no simple matter; in Congregationalism each local church is entirely autonomous, whereas the Evangelical and Reformed Church is set up in the European tradition of pyramidal administrative authority. The first order of business...
