...certainly submerging the bread-and-butter issues that matter deeply to aspiring Negroes. Perhaps most tragic of all, it turned last week into an attack on the Negro middle class, which has borne most of the leadership burden of the civil rights struggle and has the technical and professional know-how that is indispensable in preparing other Negroes to pass through the doors now opening. At the CORE convention, middle-class Negroes were derided as ''black-power brokers," "handkerchief heads," and "Dr. Thomases" (Uncle Toms with attaché cases), and moderate Negro preachers like Dr. King were called...
Escorted Coeds. By blending Bliss's spiritual impartiality with American academic know-how, A.U.B. has become the most influential educational institution in the Middle East. It was the first Arab university to offer coed classes, although some women until the '30s wore veils and were escorted to class by male relatives. A.U.B. operated the first (1905), and still the best, teaching hospital in the Moslem world, introduced X-ray equipment in 1899, and open-heart surgery in 1959.

Big Sheraton Hotels chose franchising...

The president and chief operating officer will be the Central's Perlman, 63, who is more noted for forceful operating know-how than deft administration. And keeping a close eye on moneybags will be the major stockholders: the Central's Allan P. Kirby and the Pennsy's celebrated Mellon family of Pittsburgh...
Japan's businessmen for years have been eager to offer their know-how and equipment to help Russia develop Siberia's great resources-at a profit, of course. The Soviets have sometimes seemed to encourage the Japanese, then back away. Last week 28 Russian economists and technicians went to Tokyo and sounded as if they actually meant business. Mikhail Nesterov, president of the Soviet Chamber of Commerce and head of the delegation, said, "Western Siberia has reserves of 40 billion tons of oil, 42 billion cubic meters of lumber, vast amounts of iron ore, coal and nonferrous metals...
