...This is a march of 350,000 people, but it is really ideas that are marching," Morocco's King Hassan II told TIME Correspondent Karsten Prager last week in his ocher palace in Marrakech. One of the ideas on the march might well be the old notion that the shortest route to enhanced power is through a neighboring country's land. In his determination to annex the phosphate-rich Spanish colony, King Hassan has ignored an advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice that denied Morocco's claim of outright sovereignty over the Sahara.

...often be as much of a show as what the audience finally sees. Take the time she gave Beverly Sills the bird. In Barber, Sills portrayed the young and lovely Rosina, who is being kept a virtual prisoner by her guardian, Dr. Bartolo.

But the initial fee of $8,000 and annual dues of $360 dampened the ardor of many prospective applicants; only 700 signed up. Nonetheless, Post would not abandon his ideal of exclusivity...
...Crimson reporters that many factors may be responsible: Harvard has administratively been a male college for a long time where financial and other awards have gone primarily to men. This is in the process of being changed. But male faculty and male students, also often unconsciously, perpetuate the notion that women either shouldn't or can't compete successfully. A rather subtle form this prejudice takes is the loud insistence by undergraduate men that women must be evenly distributed among the Houses. The message gets through rather clearly to many women that they are being valued on the basis...
