Never expecting to be sultan, much less king, Fuad had spent his youth in Italy. The two doctors at his deathbed last week were Italians. Lest Farouk grow up under the same influence, Britain last year ceremoniously whisked that downy-lipped young prince off to Kingston Hill for a good British education (TIME...

In its April 1 issue, Vu had devoted a full page to an account of the sextuplets' fabulous birth, pictured the six bouncing boys, told how Nestlé's milk had made them grow. When the last child was born, gay Mme Vicogne was reported to have said: "Let's call him 'Jean-Ai-Assez.' [I've had enough]."

At the present time it is hard to believe that the R.O.T.C. could grow into a warlike Prussian order, fomenting national "honor" and international hate. But there is no logical reason to discriminate against students at government colleges, making them bear arms against their will. Indeed the popularity of the training is enough to justify removing the compulsory feature. But at any event the solid work of the Peace Committee...
