Into the halls of U.S. higher education last week marched an exotic vanguard: 81 African students, including 78 Kenyans -the largest group ever to arrive from the British colony that most Americans know vaguely as the land of the Mau Mau. What the Kenyans knew about the U.S. was more specific: scholarships totaling some $100,000 were sending them to 52 colleges and universities, from Howard to Hawaii. The event was not one to make British colonial officials cheer...
...crisis came on the sleek, white, 322-ft. yacht of Greek Shipping Tycoon Aristotle Onassis, 53. Onassis, too, was a man who knew the value of money. Starting as a night telephone operator in Buenos Aires, he had taken shrewd advantage of a wave of deflation to build one of the world's largest tanker fleets and accumulate a fortune of about $300 million.

...wife Mary was 40 when their son Henry was born on July 30, 1898, in Castleford. There is something in the Yorkshire country, with its brooding hills and its sooted shadows, that brings out the digger and molder in a man, and by the age of ten Moore knew he would be a sculptor. Their miner's home was poor and crowded-Henry was the seventh of eight children. Father Moore was a fair but stern man.
