...Soviet Union and ten other nations agreed last week to disarmament and a wide-open, no-strings-attached inspection system as well. The vast (5,500,000 sq. mi.) continent of Antarctica was guaranteed for 34 years as a peaceful scientific preserve in a treaty signed with full diplomatic pomp in a State Department auditorium.

Most of the grandeur of the Fifth Republic's first year has been symbolic. De Gaulle has practically reinstituted the rites of a medieval court in a modern setting. There have been periodic shows of pomp: the Fourteenth of July was "the biggest ever," with fireworks, parades, and dancing in the streets (at the Invalides, a massive amusement park called Le Plus Grand Bal du Monde operated from 4 p.m. to 4 a.m. throughout the four-day week-end); the French Community of Nations was initiated in grandiose ceremony, and the various African dignitaries who comprise the Community Senate...

When revolutionary Iraq walked out of the Baghdad Pact last March, the remaining members along the strategic Northern Tier of the Middle East-Turkey, Iran and Pakistan -were badly shaken.

(Unlike Britain, which is a full partner, the U.S. has consistently refused formal membership in the pact for fear of stirring up new resentment in India, Israel and most of the Arab states.)

Last week in Palo Alto, amid the pomp of an academic convocation, President J. E. Wallace Sterling dedicated Stanford's handsome new $21 million medical center (complete with 434-bed hospital), designed by Manhattan Architect Edward D. Stone (TIME, March 31, 1958). For the university's med students, who can now fulfill their degree requirements without commuting to another campus, the center is an unqualified blessing.
