Expected to cost roughly $500,000-less than half what it would have cost to build it with conventional labor-the Unity Road will serve as an invaluable commercial and political link between Morocco's interior and its Mediterranean ports. More important in Ben Barka's eyes is the fact that it has already created 12,000 missionaries for a new Morocco, men who will serve as leaders in future self-help projects. "We are building the road," reads the motto of Ben Barka's volunteers, "and the road is building...
...There is strong evidence that a link may exist between leukemia and Mongolism. two Minneapolis researchers report. Drs. William Krivit and Robert A. Good of the University of Minnesota found that in four years (1952-55) the two conditions occurred together at least 34 times in children four years old and younger, far oftener than the number (12.3) expected from chance alone. Likelihood that the cases occurred by chance in a four-year span, say the statisticians. is less than one in a thousand. If existence of a link between the two presumably incurable conditions is proved, important clues...
...past ten months, while traveling through nearly every corner of non-Communist Asia and some parts of the Middle East, I was truly delighted to find TIME almost everywhere I went, even in such places as Surabaya or Djakarta, Indonesia, and Pnompenh, Cambodia.

The interstate network will reach into every corner of the U.S.-75% of it over new routes-to link 42 state capitals and 90% of all cities with more than 50,000 population. It will carry a fifth of the nation's traffic, provide vital defense routes in case of war. Total cost of the entire program: $100 billion-nearly 300 times the cost of the Panama Canal...
...Ralph Lazarus, 43, fourth-generation retailer of the Lazarus merchant family, stepped up to president of Federated Department Stores, Inc., which grossed $601 million in the past year from its 38-link chain. His father, Co-Founder Fred Lazarus Jr., 72, moved up to chairman. Former Chairman Lincoln Filene, 92, also a founder and the dean of U.S. retailers, eased into the new job of honorary chairman. The executive switch means that Fred Lazarus will steadily relinquish more authority to his son, who in 22 years with the company following his graduation from Dartmouth has held every post from sales...
