...black-tent Bedouin who left off camel herding to study in Egypt and Texas, Tariki is often represented as anti-American (TIME, Oct. 27). At the University of Texas he got a master's degree in petroleum engineering, found an American wife, and then joined the U.S.-owned Arabian American Oil Co. at Dhahran. "I was the first Arab to penetrate into the tight Aramco compound," he said last week, "and I never saw such narrow people." American matrons took his wife aside and reproved her for marrying an Arab. Says Tariki bitterly: "It was a perfect case...
...Romeo and Juliet seems to Western eyes a curious dramatic anachronism, a bit like a brilliant butterfly under glass. As much emotion-laden pantomime as dance, it retraces virtually every twist and turn of Shakespeare's familiar plot in 13 scenes before a series of sumptuous but often ponderously literal sets. The heavily orchestrated score, boldly conducted without score by Conductor Yuri Faier (he is almost blind, can see only the dancers' silhouettes), is unabashedly romantic, gently moving in its lyric flights, occasionally distracting when the onstage movements are too welded to its melodramatic moods.

...works himself into a competitive swivet before a meet by listening to his own tape-recorded pep talks, Long is casual and easygoing. He does not go all out in workouts, eats whatever is served at the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house, is so relaxed in competition that he often does not bother to watch his competitors perform. A steady B student, he works in a local drugstore one night a week, takes many night classes (he is planning to become a dentist), at mealtime waits on table like any other fraternity pledge...
...make him "sweat it out" is also bad, Dr. Done suggests. It makes no sense when anti-fever drugs are being given, because their effect is to promote heat loss-which the bundling prevents. A moderate room temperature and light covering that allows the heat to escape are better. Often it is equally important and more effective to make sure that the feverish child gets plenty of liquids to make up what he loses by sweating...
...Great Crusade. To turn readers into news sources, the Farm Journal runs three separate letters columns in each issue, often finds ideas for features in the morning mail. Particularly fruitful is a special section called "The Farmer's Wife," the vigorous vestige of the magazine Farmer's Wife, which was bought by the Farm Journal in 1939. Under pert Editor Gertrude Dieken, who was raised on an Iowa farm, the section has its own inside cover, draws up to 1,500 letters a month, most of them written as though to a close friend...
