While French governments form and fall, while France tries to halt its descent among the world powers, the Louvre holds its rank at the top of the world's art museums. Even as demonstrators paraded through the streets of Paris earlier this month, the Louvre's attendance rolled on at a steady 3,000 a day. Nothing short of war or revolution will keep the crowds below 5,000 a day at the peak of the tourist season in mid-August. Nowhere on earth is there another edifice dedicated to man's delight in art that...
...Norwegian major general with the irresistible name of Odd Bull. It would be nearly hopeless for them to patrol some 180 miles of mountain border between Syria and Lebanon-a job that would take a force of perhaps 5,000 men. But they were empowered to report, not to halt, any infiltration of the border. The fact was that, at the moment, the real difficulty was not so much the direct outside help as the maneuverings of Pan-Arab elements inside Lebanon, led by ex-Premier Saeb Salam.

...Kress Foundation, which holds 42% of Kress stock (TIME, March 3). Cobb was picked for the job by RCA Executive Committee Chairman Frank M.

Signs of Hope. There was no doubt that the Nixon attacks had a great deal to do with it. Only a fortnight ago, Panamanian President Ernesto de la Guardia managed to halt antigovernment student riots that had been going on for ten days. And only six weeks ago, demonstrating students invaded the U.S. Canal Zone and hoisted Panamanian flags to dramatize sovereignty claims. In Guatemala Communists, once held firmly in check by the late President Carlos Castillo Armas, are again able to cause trouble...
Obviously, this interdependence has many weaknesses, and many hazards. If the community is a relatively poor one, a halt-leading-the-blind relationship may occur, with mistake following ludicrous mistake down the trail of ignominy. In Cambridge, for example, the School Committee, the elected body of parents responsible for supervising the schools, tried to "improve" its school facilities by making a series of unnecessary appointments and promoting unqualified men to responsible jobs in the school system. In this case, the irresponsible action of one group of parents was rectified by another group of parents, who organized petitions and referenda...
