...Kenneth J. Yolla, in his letter to TIME, complains that the spiral notebook causes pain and grief to left-handed students [Jan. 24]. The last page of a right-handed spiral notebook will become the first page of a left-handed notebook if Reader Yolla has the wit to turn the notebook over...
...recent weeks, Billy Graham has come on like a White House chaplain-in-residence. Perhaps following the Pauline precept-becoming all things to all men that he might by all means save some-Graham returned to the White House as the Johnsons' guest the weekend before L.B.J. left office. He reappeared at Nixon's inauguration to deliver a prayer that sounded more like a sermon-and was not overly kind to his earlier host at the White House. After all, Graham had urged Nixon to make the race in 1968, and had been on hand at the discussions...
...last of the miners had left by the turn of the century, and it was not until four years ago that a new band of prospectors returned to Mineral King. Financed by the late Walt Disney, they systematically surveyed the Sierra woodland-now a part of a national forest.

The 2,500 Jews who remain in Iraq today live under a reign...
Egypt's few Jews are steadily harassed. There are only about 1,000 left, and it is believed that all heads of families, and younger males as well, have been jammed into the Abu Za-abal prison camp near Ismailia. Crushed together in tiny cells, they are allowed no visitors, are often beaten and poorly fed. In Libya, 20 Jews were slain by angry mobs in the wake of the Six-Day War, and the suddenly concerned authorities allowed about 3,500 to leave. Fewer than 1,000 remain, and a good many of these are reported...
