...tall (5 ft. 8 in.), with shiny black eyes and curly chestnut hair worn in a carefully untidy nouvelle vague coiffure. A onetime student of architecture at the Ecole Speciale d'Architecture in Paris, she stood 20th in a class of 156, is a competent pianist, a good swimmer and basketball player. Popular with her French classmates because she had "such a lot of heart and sensitivity," Farah comes from a well-to-do Iranian family and is distantly related to weepy ex-Premier Mohammed Mossadegh, who briefly dethroned the Shah in 1953. Her father, an army officer trained...
...nominated, because he expresses the Republican philosophy." In definition of that philosophy, Multimillionaire Harriman cordially damned the G.O.P.

The foods looked fine, tasted pretty good, and they could be kept edible without refrigeration practically forever, because all the microorganisms in them had been done to death by radiation. The Army proudly fed irradiated meals to newspapermen, top brass, and 20 Congressmen. Last week, with some embarrassment, the Army announced that it was shelving a $7,500,000 irradiated-food plant...
...from school. The reason: "Gross obesity." His record as a star four-sport athlete in high school was no defense. Though 6 ft. tall, he weighed 278 Ibs., had a 44-in. waist, 51 -in. hips when he entered college. Explained an official: "He wouldn't make a good teacher. Obesity in teachers has a bad effect on children. There must be a limit to the size of teachers...
