Bigger Bargains. Egypt, which needs the High Dam at Aswan to help raise the appallingly low standard of living of its people, belatedly hopes to save at least some of its treasure house of antiquities along the Nubian Nile. As a result, it is playing down its habitual nationalist antagonism toward foreign archaeologists. Instead of permitting foreign diggers to take away only a limited amount of their finds, Culture Minister Okasha offers participating governments one-half of all objects unearthed in any new excavations they make in the lands to be flooded.* Further, he promises to give other ancient monuments...
Calhoun managed to put just one shot past Eliot goalie John Morris, a low boot in the right hand corner that gave it a first half lead of 1 to 0. During the rest of the game, Morris made several sensational saves, including one on an attempt in the last period that he managed to divert over the goal post with his finger tips...

It was followed by another low-cost smash called The Lovers, directed by Louis Malle, 27. Suddenly, the New Wave was rolling, and on the crest of it dozens of ambitious young cinéastes went surfboarding to success. In the past twelve months, according to the French Film Office, at least 30 young men without previous...
