Just when it looked as if the French and Germans might forget some of their differences in the common peril, an ancient trouble spot set them snarling at each other. The spot: the smoky Saar basin, a tiny wedge of the Rhine valley on the Franco-German frontier. Barely larger (743 sq. mi.) than Allegheny County, Pa., though its population (900,000) is the densest in Europe, the Saar has both strategic position and rich mineral resources, and it has been a tug-of-war ground for centuries...
Since the pamphlets we distributed at registration reached only a quarter of the undergraduates, and since your long editorial of February 5th presumably reached a larger audience, we would like to reply to it.

In bleak Ungava, where only the rashest prospector ever ventured a decade ago, a new railway is thrusting through the wilderness to tap an iron-ore lode larger than the state of Connecticut, and perhaps as rich as the famed Mesabi Range in northern Minnesota. Above an Indian village named Kitimat, in the stony heights of British Columbia, engineers are damming half a dozen mountain lakes, creating a waterfall 15 times as high as Niagara, to power the world's biggest...

Fisher started testing it on 80 five-acre plots, went on to larger areas which he sprayed from a plane at leafing time. In three to ten days, the leaves yellowed. The following year the mesquite failed to leaf again, but grass underneath the mesquite was not affected. Spraying with 2,4,5-T is inexpensive: $3.50 to $4 an acre. Last year, experiments...
