...says famed Neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield, a few highly localized parts of the brain have been shown to control vision, hearing, speech, some physical sensations and most movements, but by far the greater part of the brain remains unexplored. To fill in one of the blanks on the cerebral map, Dr. Penfield has just offered evidence to the National Academy of Sciences that parts of the brain work like an audio-video tape recorder, preserving the details of everything a man sees and hears...
...with independence, moved south last year to the borders of the areas still controlled by Spain. Goulimine's mayor, the governor of nearby Tiznit, and most other Moroccan officials around Ifni are former Liberation Army leaders. On the wall of the governor's office was a map of "Greater Morocco" showing not only Ifni but also all of Spanish West Africa and French Mauritania as part of King Mohammed V's realm...
...week for word from Washington, D.C. that would start the greatest northern land rush since the Klondike gold strike. They had swarmed to Anchorage by the score this fall after Richfield Oil Corp. made Alaska's first big oil find in the nearby Kenai national game preserve (see map).

The demand was part of Morocco's reassertion of its ancient claims on the Sahara region stretching from the Atlantic coast down...
...Map. There was a lot to cheer about the next night, too. when the new Dallas opera staged L'ltallana in Algeri, a much-neglected Rossini romp. The house was half empty-two of the city's most popular debutantes were giving a dance that night. Despite major obstacles-including a Texas chorus that had a lot of trouble learning to sing in Italian-the production turned out to be topnotch, with bright sets, smooth and funny staging. The cast, mostly imported and mostly unknown in the U.S. (except for brilliant Mezzo-Soprano Giulietta Simionato). had been...
