Self v. Good. It was a turning point in the saga of the empire, which, after a few disputed additions, was to grow only smaller. Already in London young Churchill, on the threshold of a brilliant parliamentary career, was immersed in discussions about colonialism and "the issue of whether peoples have a right to self-government or only to good government." The Sudan got "good" government. For centuries Arab slave traders from the north had raided the Negro villages of the south, sold their captives on eastern markets. The British put down the slave trade. The dancing Dervishes became respectable...
...emotional tensions were linked with fears of drowning and other accidents which involved stoppage of breathing. Chlorpromazine (TIME, March 7) made her feel considerably less anxious and nervous.

The common denominator of the three is the equable and reliable Florida sun, a priceless asset in a nation whose countless blessings do not, in its more populous regions, include a kindly climate. The sun draws tourists-5,000,000 this year, compared...
pilots estimate, there are four near-misses on commercial flights. In the 600 m.p.h. jet age coming over the horizon, the problem will grow even more serious. As a result, an angry argument is rocking U.S. aviation. The Air Force, already flying jets, and the airlines, soon to get them, charge that the Government's air traffic control system is hopelessly obsolete, and that no new system is being devised to take its place. For that, they have long blamed the Civil Aeronautics Administration, which polices the airways, and its boss, Frederick Billings...
