...phenomena of U.S. education. Since it took its present form only 35 years ago, it is not only the youngest of its peers among U.S. universities, it is also one of the smallest (600 undergraduates, 450 graduate students). On its 30-acre campus of stucco, Mediterranean-style buildings and olive-shaded walks, no one is a stranger, and with its faculty of 350, it has the luxuriously high teacher-student ratio of about one to three. While other campuses glut themselves with courses, Caltech will happily drop a few (most recent examples: meteorology and industrial design) on the refreshing theory...
Ankles Aweigh (music & lyrics by Sammy Fain & Dan Shapiro; book by Guy Bolton & Eddie Davis) made a few miscalculations. It used a thoroughly uninspired score. It settled for extremely commonplace lyrics. It paid little attention to the dancing. Its book floats, on a rusty keel, all over the Mediterranean and unloads benumbing wheezes at every port of call.

Millimeter by millimeter, like a small bug on a windowpane, the Finnish tanker Aruba crawled along the charted sea lanes. The world paid little attention as she made her way down from the Rumanian port of Constanta to the Mediterranean and eastward toward Port Said. Then, three weeks ago, like hundreds of other vessels that pass through the Suez Canal, the 10,000-ton Aruba was forced to declare her cargo and destination. It proved to be 13,000 tons of high-grade kerosene consigned to Red China, enough jet plane fuel to carry Communist airmen on an estimated...
Israel's position in the Middle East today is almost as precarious as it was in 1948, when her armies fought desperately to keep the new state from being pushed into the Mediterranean. Arab leaders all over the Middle East talk with increasing passion of a coming "second round" and the final defeat of Israel, the "cancer in the body of the Arab world," as Egypt's General Naguib phrased it. At present Israeli military strength is probably sufficient to repay any Arab attack with interest. The balance of military power in the Middle East may be shifting slowly toward...
