Blown Fuses. It is only three years since the Viet Nam circuit became the Orpheum of the Orient for adventurous performers. Most of the bookings are handled by Agent Joe Tomasi, now 28, who brought his first touring variety show into Saigon in the spring of 1964, and a year later formed the World Wide Talent agency with retired U.S. Chief Petty Officer George Albrecht. "The Vietnamese acts were terrible," Tomasi recalls, and he began flying out regularly to Manila, Hong Kong and Tokyo to fetch in outside talent.

As early as 1882, 43 years before the Scopes trial in the U.S., A.U.B. Professor Edwin R. Lewis endorsed Darwin's evolution theories in a commencement speech and was forced to resign in the ensuing furor. Striking students clashed with police in 1952, when A.U.B. banned pro-Arab politicking on campus, then disbanded the student government.
