...mollification of the powerful conservation and sportsmen's lobby, which McKay had offended. Not entirely satisfied with simple equality, the conservationists nonetheless like Leffler, trust Seaton and are willing to give the new system a chance. They are also pleased because Fred Seaton has suspended the issuance of oil and gas leases on federal bird-and-game refuges; Doug McKay approved more in his term (364) than had been granted in the three decades before...
...hoping to build up the reasonable, oil-bearing Arab elements as a decisive factor for anti-Communist stability in the Middle East, found itself in a cruel predicament last week. The one way to promote reasonableness among Arabs is to keep them from getting worked up about Israel, and to that end it was necessary to get the Israelis to clear out of Egypt and stop defying the U.N.

Aboard President Eisenhower's personal Constellation Columbine, Saudi Arabia's brown-robed King Saud began his journey back to the Middle East.

Significantly, Arab leaders are trending away from Nasser on their own initiative. In the process, King Saud's trip may well have been a turning...
...scrubby, rolling country northwest of Rome lies rich archaeological pay dirt, but the worthwhile pockets are as hard to hit as producing oil wells. Some of the underground tombs left by the Etruscans who lived there 2,500 years, ago still contain priceless art treasures, while others, robbed centuries ago, are not worth the trouble and expense. When a modern, authorized graverobber (archaeologist) finds a tomb and digs laboriously into it, he often finds only dust and broken crockery. Last week Amateur Archaeologist Carlo Lerici was proving that modern scientific techniques can take the gamble and much of the secret...
