...IMMORTALS OF THE MOUNTAIN by C. Virgil Gheorghiu. 186 pages. Henry Regnery. $5.95. This novel about Rumanian peasants mistreated by landholders is far below The Twenty-Fifth Hour, the author's post-World War II story of concentration camps...
...Versailles Treaty did not even succeed in constraining Germany. The Allies developed such intense feelings of guilt about it that when, in the 1930s, Hitler began his reconquest of territory, they felt he was only redressing Germany's wrongs.

Testing showed that Zeus could indeed stop an incoming missile under ideal conditions; dummy aggressors launched from California were intercepted by defenders based...
...facing higher education were so urgent that the commissioners decided short-range solutions were needed-now. Thus last week's report (others will be issued later) focused specifically on the next eight years,* on the problems that will reach U.S. campuses with the college candidates produced by the post-World War II baby boom...
