...snake was a purely domestic product-internal disunity and, most of all, the constant threat of bankruptcy. Nehru has of late talked a great deal about retirement, and many of his countrymen, sensing a staleness of leadership, have begun to wonder whether he is the one to lead them through the difficulties that lie ahead. For a report on those difficulties and a thoroughgoing look at a likely successor to Nehru, see FOREIGN NEWS, Billion-Dollar Troubles...
...Anne was tired ("I couldn't sleep last night") but philosophical ("I'd give anything to win the tournament, but I don't intend to spend my life trying to win it"). At the start, her swing looked flat, and Mrs. Porter had a three-up lead at the 18-hole lunch break, still led two-up after 26 holes.

With such excesses, Venice's sun sank-but not before the glass blowers of Murano had explored the possibilities of their material...

During the eight-week courses sponsored this summer by the National Science Foundation, the high school teachers suggested changes in the M.I.T. text, enthusiastically accepted the basic idea: lead students to discover physics concepts through experiments, rather than use experiments to verify laws already memorized. Other M.I.T. innovations: increased emphasis on theoretical rather than applied physics; less electrical circuitry, greater stress on atomics; early teaching of the principle of wave action, to give a unifying theme to much of what...
...hours sifting scores of replies from families who claimed that the real model was one of their kin. "Signora Ossorio herself did not answer the advertisement," said Brooke, "but I received an anonymous phone call giving me her phone number in London." Wheeler and Brooke tracked down the new lead, found an Edie Ossorio "still fascinating, vivacious, certainly not looking her 84 years...
