...officials relished the idea of the U.S. acting alone. "None of us should be too hurried about getting into this thing," warned Dwight Eisenhower. "Any unilateral action would be a serious mistake." Officially, the Administration agreed, pinning its public hopes on the United Nations to settle the crisis before the Israelis lose patience and try to break the blockade themselves. But many U.S. policymakers are disenchanted with U.N. Secretary-General U Thant, not only for his blatant partisanship on Viet Nam, but also for his aphronic action in pulling the entire U.N. peace-keeping force out of the Sinai desert...
Perhaps. But that big money contributes a great deal. And U.S. sport is none the worse because TV's expensive insistence on excellence has turned true amateurs into a vanishing class-unless the statistics include "amateur" tennis players who get $9,000 a year from the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association for playing on the Davis Cup team, or the track stars who compete for phonographs and TV sets. "Professional" is no longer a term of derogation; it is a synonym for superb. No longer does the golf pro come in the back door of the country club...

Egypt, having already moved some 80,000 troops into the Gaza Strip and all along its 117-mile border with Israel, announced that it would not permit Israeli ships or vessels bearing strategic materials to Israel to enter the Gulf of Aqaba, at the head of which sits the important Israeli port of Elath...
...dilemma was finally "reselved" because of the Administration's embarrassment over the final clubs. The AAAAS was urged to strike out the discriminatory clause and, implicitly, substitute one of membership by invitation. Armah would have none of this. He kept telling the undergraduates, especially the American Negroes who were willing to accept the "final club" compromise...
After the Spree. Businessmen had plenty of explanations for the new signs of strain, none of them comforting to would-be borrowers. Many companies, having spent so much to keep up with the economic spree of the past six years, were borrowing to replenish their coffers or pay off short-term bank loans. Says Donald C. Miller, vice president of Continental Illinois Bank & Trust Co.: "The difficulties of the money panic last fall are still so real that companies do not want to go through that again." Guy E. Noyes, senior vice president of Manhattan's Morgan Guaranty Trust...
