...only love I can have is for my country." A good part of that love seems really to be a longing for adventure, which the Moslem moujahid shares with the swaggering paratroopers of France. As we flew over the sandy wastes of Libya, Krim gestured at the comfortable interior of the plane, pointed deprecatingly to his grey European suit and shrugged: "I don't like this luxury. What I really like is being out in the mountains. You know, I can march all night, sleep in rain or snow, then fight and march and fight again. That...
...thousand Egyptian troops into Syria, stationing at least one Egyptian officer with every Syrian army company. Playing his proconsuls against each other. Nasser has split authority in Syria among 1) Old Politicos Akram Hourani and Sabri el Assali, Vice Presidents of the U.A.R.; 2) Colonel Abdel Hamid Serraj, now Interior Minister, press czar, and boss of a police state intelligence network; 3) Mahmoud Riad, onetime Egyptian army colonel and Ambassador to Syria, who is Nasser's shadow in Damascus.

...statue of himself to be erected in front of Accra's Parliament House, Nkrumah shocked his British Laborite boosters by cracking down hard on the opposition, led by scholarly Sociologist Kofi Busia of University College.

Color set owners must acclimate themselves to times when faces suddenly go green or saffron, figures bloom with fluorescence, and backgrounds become crimes against nature or interior decoration. With amazing docility, most color set owners accept these hazards uncomplainingly. Some even boast of learning how to tune their sets as a real accomplishment ; color tuning was an intricate, five-dial operation on RCA's earlier sets, is now somewhat simplified as a three-dial maneuver. Said...
...Interior Secretary Fred Seaton, who got only tepid support from miners for his Domestic Mineral Stabilization Plan (TIME, May 19), last week won more enthusiasm with a new proposal for copper. The new one-year plan calls for Government stockpile purchases of up to 150,000 tons at prices up to 27½? per lb. (v. the present producers' price of 25? per lb.) in addition to the 10,000 tons a month the Government already buys for the stockpile. Western mining-state Congressmen like the stockpiling plan better than the out-and-out subsidy previously suggested, thus...
