...freedom, that as long as this country's rulers are willing to kill black demonstrators or Cambodian peasants they'll necessarily be willing to kill white middle-class students--their own children, if necessary, their own non-political children, if necessary--to stop them from exercising their freedom to object. It suggests that if they thought it necessary, some time, they'd kill...
...present time, $25 million will be used to clear the Suez Canal and $80 million to buy U.S. grains. With the remaining $145 million the Egyptians will rebuild war-demolished Suez City-an enormous project that could cost Egypt as much as $500 million.

Once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Trieste was annexed by Italy after World War I; after World War II it became the object of a prolonged tug of war between Italy and Yugoslavia, whose partisans had participated in the Allied capture of the region. In 1954, however, a practical accommodation was reached. Italy was granted provisional control over the northern section of the 287-sq.-mi. territory. Called Zone A, it included the city of Trieste (pop. 270,000), which is predominantly Italian but has a large Slovene minority. The rest of the area, Zone B, was kept provisionally...
