...blame for this serious defficiency, perhaps, should not be placed entirely upon the Department of History. The study of ancient civilizations might provide a fruitful framework for an inter-disciplinary approach, with courses presenting the art, history, political institutions, and philosophies of these ancient cultures on the successful pattern of Soc Sci 111. Harvard may not accommodate a Breasted, but it could certainly enrich its history curriculum with studies of Memphis or Ikhnaton, of Nebuchadrezzar of Chaldea--a sore deficiency in the University at present...
...Wall Street Journal is agonizingly dull. For determinedly conservative makeup, the Journal's front page-six solid columns of type unrelieved by a picture-has no rival among U.S. metropolitan dailies. Its stories can hardly be called sensational: a looming shortage in milk bottles, potholes in the Inter-American Highway, a slump in the price of dried fruit, a rise in individual assets-to cite but a few of the subjects that rated Page One play last week...
Castro himself served notice in advance that nonintervention did not apply to him. The conference was a "farce," he charged on TV, called at the urging of Trujillo. Ignoring him, the delegates hammered out their proposal for ending such threats: a revival of the OAS's Inter-American Peace Commission, with power to investigate trouble on the spot. Formed after the 1940 foreign ministers' meeting at Havana, the peace committee was crippled in 1956 by an amendment that required both the accuser nation and the accused to agree to an investigation. The renewed committee will eliminate that hobble...
...tubful of cold water before breakfast-hangers-back being dunked forcibly. Ever since Mr. Gaitskell's rise to notoriety, there has been a rumor prevalent at his old school that it was his treatment in that institution which led to his subsequent quaint opinions about capitalists and, inter alia, the education of their progeny...
...Dominican dictatorship of Rafael Leonidas Trujillo poses an unhappy dilemma for the U.S. and the responsible democracies of Latin America. Nobody wants to support Trujillo's tyranny-but inter-American treaties promise him joint aid in the event of outside aggression. Everybody would like to see the Dominican Republic turned into a working democracy-but the anti-Trujillo bands that stormed the Dominican Republic last month were led by Communist-liners, offering the prospect of chaos rather than freedom. Battling out the dilemma in tense sessions at the Organization of American States in Washington last week, the OAS member...
