...munitions for the F.L.N. columns fighting the French in Algeria. All but six of the 25 were French men and women-teachers, mathematicians, TV producers, actors-who had betrayed the government of France not for money but out of an idealistic fervor of their own. One of the defendants, pale, thin France Binard, had lost eight members of her family in Nazi concentration camps. She said grimly: "I answer fully for what I have done. Through my presence here before you, I continue my fight." Defendant Jean-Claude Paupert. an ex-soldier who served in Algeria, said what...
Campus Eye-Openers. Inevitably, one pale male at last week's seminar countered with a charge of Adam-teasing. Complaining of the girls' gauzy saris, low-cut cholis (blouses) and flimsy salwar (trousers), a student cried: "There is always too much visible."

And for sheer devilish ingenuity, few Eve-teasers could match the New Delhi girl who telephones males at random, starting conversations that are hard for many an innocent husband to explain.

The electrocardiogram was taken by happenstance: the hospital was making a study of heart action in prematures, and this baby seemed to have been about a month premature. The startling ECG finding alerted the doctors to the possibility of serious illness. When the baby turned blue, they gave oxygen...
With a rare angry glint in his pale blue eyes, the U.N.'s Dag Hammarskjold last week went on the offensive against Congolese Premier Patrice Lumumba. And well he might. The Congo's army was acting on its irresponsible own, the Congo's economy was stagnating, and its capital city chaotic and littered with trash. In such an hour, when he needed all the help he could get and his country needed all the stability it could muster, Lumumba jumped up and down in an insensate feud with the U.N. Compared with Lumumba, Hammarskjold confided to associates...
