...British-owned Iraq Petroleum Co.'s ledger label for a pumping station in the Jordanian desert on its pipeline from Iraq to the Mediterranean. At this remote and inhospitable spot, in an air-conditioned concrete resthouse surrounded by nothing but miles of rock and sand, Jordan's young (20) King Hussein and his cousin, Iraq's young (20) King Feisal II, met last week to discuss the future of Jordan...
...campaign were illadvised, but they hardly justified the crocodile tears of William Knowland. TIME'S resume of the Al Sarena investigation, however, constitutes, if not a nosedive, at least a pratfall. Those of us who were familiar with the mine before it was glamorized by the Al Sarena label know it as a forlorn hope. Your whitewash of the case might serve its purpose elsewhere in the nation, but in Oregon it is generally conceded that an obsolete mining law and political influence have been used to take a sizable bite out of our national forest...

Gertrude Stein did not try to build a drama around the life of the suffragette but presents her fight through a series of conversations with many of the eminent and some of the obscure people of her era. If such a treatment lacks the tension of a plot, it still gave the writer an opportunity to display her talent for humor, and permitted stage director Roger Graef to fill the huge Sanders Theatre platform...
...Like Eureka, 129-year-old Shurtleff College in Alton, Ill. lost its accreditation m 1936. This, says President Roland E. Turnbull, "is something like not having a union label on your product, or the approval seal of the fire underwriters." A Shurtleff coed cannot join a national sorority or be a member of the American Association of University Women. Even worse, the college has already had to resign from the fund-raising Associated Colleges of Illinois. Yet Baptist Shurtleff has managed to make considerable contribution over the years. Among its alumni four college presidents, 112 college and university teachers...
