Though the price rise in food (1 % ) was the biggest single item on the index, TIME correspondents around the U.S. found that the nibbles that niggled most were such major items as increased medical costs (up in Atlanta 4.5% over last year) and dozens of minor expenses, e.g., shoeshines (up 10? to 35? in Sacramento) and haircuts (up 25? to $2 in San Francisco). Everywhere, middle-income families felt the pinch of such pressures as rising commuter fares, real estate prices, taxi taxes, pipe tobacco and cigar taxes, real estate taxes, school taxes, gasoline taxes.

...kept Iraq from a Nasser takeover, despite anxious moments such as the Mosul revolt in March, but only at the cost of accepting more help from the street-organizing Communists than was healthy.

...parts of the world qualify better for the name "badlands," the desert so scarred by erosion and so parched by drought (less than 2 in. of rainfall in some areas) that many engineers believe only water pipelines from the north can make it habitable-and then on a minor scale. Glueck disagrees. He argues that the Negev once supported a fairly dense population, possibly 100,000 or more people, and that now it can be made to support at least...
...most treacherous challenges in the entire literature. Of the two chorale-preludes, Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier presented a constant parade of startling dissonances. Later periods were represented by Mozart's charming, if second-drawer, Sonata No. 15 in C; Brahms' rich-textured Fugue in A Flat Minor (a most rare key); and Hermann Schroeder's chorale-prelude Schoenster Herr Jesu...
