...college, and spent a day talking with the citizens of Cotulla, 70 miles from the Mexican border, where 20-year-old Lyndon Johnson taught the fifth, sixth and seventh grades for a year. A key source for the story and a key force in the education of L.B.J. Howard Mell Greene, 78-year-old retired professor of government at Southwest Texas State Teachers College, was found in the Ozarks hamlet of Brixey, Mo. The President himself took time during a crowded week to sit for an interview with the Washington bureau's Jean Franklin. She found him relaxed, gracious...

A Fiat assembly plant near Cairo employs 5,000 workers but turns out only 15 cars a day due to material shortages. The Helwan iron and steel complex produces rails that were turned down as inferior by Egyptian national railways and were finally accepted only on Nasser's insistence. At year...
Most of the B-57s crews were asleep when a little band of Viet Cong crept to within 2,500 yards of the Bienhoa flight line, took accurate aim and blasted the barracks and airstrip with 81-mm. mortars. G.I.s ran pell-mell from their bivouac as more than 100 rounds fell onto the sleeping quarters, injuring 72 and killing four. Already, the midnight raiders had pumped shell after shell onto the B-57s, destroying six and damaging at least six more...
