Like an old-curmudgeon predecessor named Harold Ickes (1933-46), Interior's Udall has made lots of news-much of it unwelcome. As an Arizona Congressman, he earned John Kennedy's gratitude-and, presumably, his present Cabinet position-by his effective 1960 preconvention work for Kennedy in the Southwest. No sooner had he taken over his Cabinet office than he allowed as how Democratic Congressmen had better go along with the Kennedy Administration's effort to liberalize the House Rules Committee or lose their bite at the Interior Department's pork-barrel appropriations; this sort...
...eleven months in office, Secretary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall has not proved himself the best, the worst, or even the most indifferent, member of the Kennedy Cabinet. But he is surely the damnedest...
Nkrumah's closest advisers are those who toady to him the most. Interior Minister Kwaku Boateng often throws himself on his knees in Nkrumah's presence and cries: "Osagyefo, you are my God." Other associates snicker at the Osagyefo legend, but exploit it to further their own ambition. Ghana's masses are openly skeptical of the Nkrumah cult. Hit in the pocketbook by prohibitive compulsory savings taxes and threatened with jail at every turn, they are in a rebellious frame of mind. Barricaded behind Bren guns in the presidential residence, Nkrumah is becoming increasingly aware...
...frame is not a new idea; the first man who leaned two poles together and threw a skin over them had a rudimentary version of it. The real test of an A-frame is living in it. Its sloping walls make the interior resemble a giant attic. The sleeping loft, fitted with mattresses or cots, is tucked under the roof and is reached by a ladder. But for the adaptable family or unfettered weekend group, a well-planned, well-finished A-frame can be a marvel of fun and utility...
...years, since the Shackelton Expedition of 1917. But living in salt for 180 million years is an unheard-of feat. Dombrowski, nevertheless, has able supporters. Bacteriologist Georg Henneberg, head of Berlin's famed Robert Koch Institute, does not doubt that Dombrowski extracted living bacteria from the interior of solid blocks of Zechstein salt-though there is still a slim possibility that the salt was contaminated relatively recently by bacteria that entered the crystalline mass through microscopic cracks. To buttress his theory further, Dombrowski is examining salt from even older beds. Last month the University of Montreal sent him samples...
