...abolished their centuries-old sultanate and elected Amin Didi their first President (TIME. Jan. 12, 1953), they began to regret it. Amin Didi was chock-full of reform plans-he wrote a new anthem to the tune of Auld Lang Syne; he abolished purdah and designed a new Mother Hubbard for women to wear; he forced the men to elect women to the legislature; he built an elaborate handicraft shop, despite the fact that rarely more than a half dozen tourists a year visit the isolated island chain (pop. 90,000) southwest of Ceylon...
...unbidden guests pressed ten deep around Magsaysay's table, watched every mouthful as it disappeared into the presidential mouth. A half dozen strangers sat down at the First Lady's table. Still others surged around a heaped buffet which in five minutes stood bare as Mother Hubbard's cupboard...

The varsity has scored almost at will against M.I.T. in its two scrimmages this fall, but then, Tech is Tech. The Crimson then lost its opener at Dartmouth, 5 to 1. But Captain Normie Wood thinks the varsity will eventually have that punch. Right wing job Bray is still a little hampered by his wrist, broken halfway through last season. He has to keep it tightly taped, but has developed...
