Burning Question. In the five months since the Iraqi coup, the Communists have shown themselves the most tightly knit, best disciplined political outfit to emerge in Iraq's political chaos. They have infiltrated the police. To a lesser extent, they have penetrated the higher echelons of government and the army. At least one ranking official, Economics Minister Ibrahim Kubah, talks like a Communist (he calls Red China the "focus of intellectual and spiritual enlightenment in our contemporary world").

"These teams will be as closely knit as any season in the past," Assistant Coach Bill Brooks said, adding that each varsity meet is likely to be extremely close, going down to the last relay...
...would enjoy a friendlier place in the College if classmates could be brought in for meals. At least, they say, older guests should be invited more often. But these movements generally run into polite but firm opposition from the graduates, who remember a day when the Clubs were close-knit little bands of intimate friends, which might be broken up by frequent intrusions of outsiders, no matter how attractive and pleasant. The Clubs, tradition-bound as they are, are strongly tied to graduate opinion...
