...amount of mythology and misinformation that teachers encounter is considerable, even among the apparently sophisticated. After decades of reassurance, boys are still concerned about the putative effects of masturbation: does it really cause baldness, blindness, mental retardation, physical debility, or hairy palms? The relief at learning that none of these is true can be profound. Says a 13-year-old New Yorker: "When you find out that every other guy in the class does it and it's not all that unhealthy, you don't feel so bad any more." Homosexuality is currently a major concern of youngsters...
...astonishing that The Netherlands received $1 billion in Marshall Plan aid-more per capita than any other nation-but it is surprising that anyone remembers. The man with the long memory is none other than Prince Bernhard, 55, at whose suggestion 60 Dutch companies, organizations, trade unions and individuals have contributed $200,000 for what Bernhard calls "Holland's modest thank-you"-an endowed chair in The Netherlands civilization at Harvard, where Secretary of State George C. Marshall first announced the Plan 20 years ago. Called "the Erasmus Lectorship," the chair will be filled each year by a visiting...
Warning of War. The biggest reason for Chullima's failure is the strain of North Korea's war machine on a none-too-viable economy. To support its 370,000-man army (plus an aid program to North Viet Nam that is so far limited to supplying small arms, medicines, tractors, diesel engines, psywar personnel, military advisers and 50 MIG instructors), North Korean military spending will run to a hefty $465 million this year, or 30.2% of the total national budget. To justify it, Kim tells his country that war is imminent with the U.S.-backed "imperialistic dictatorship...
...hotel's great glory used to be its opulent indoor patio, a spacious central courtyard roofed over with glass and studded with palm trees and fountains that was the very symbol of la belle epoque. In the U.S., none rivaled the "Grand Central Court" of San Francisco's Palace Hotel, tiled in marble, lit by gas and roofed with crystal. But as modern cost-efficiency techniques have moved into hotelkeeping, much of the drama and elegance has moved out. Since space is the greatest architectural luxury of all, most new hotel lobbies are mean and cramped-areas designed...
...nations -- Britain, the Netherlands, Portugal, as well as the United States--can Nasser retreat. It would be foolhardy for him to provoke war with all these powers. The Soviet Union, which has encouraged him thus far, would not follow him into war against the U.S. in a situation where none of the Soviets' vital interests are involved. Nasser could undercut domestic opposition by launching another virulent propaganda campaign against "Zionist" elements in the U.S. and other Western countries...
