...reign of the new board has been mostly quiet, as few controversial issues have come up since the election. Student opinion was described as "apathetic" and the faculty was expressed no overt opinion--except for the Journalism school whose faculty by and large violently opposed the change...
...young Kings, enthroned the same day, are both Hashemites, and cousins in the same family. Both reign over lands carved out for their grandfathers by the British after World War I. Both are British-educated (at Harrow), both came to rule through family tragedy. Hussein's father, Talal (who himself succeeded the assassinated Abdullah, first King of Jordan), lost his throne because of insanity; Feisal's father Ghazi wrapped his racing car around a light pole when Feisal was a solemn-eyed moppet of three...
Fanfan the Tulip (Filmsonor; Lopert Films) is a legendary French hero who, to judge from this picture, was a sort of combination Robin Hood and Roy Rogers. During the reign of Louis XV, Fanfan (Gérard Philipe) has enough romantic adventures for a couple of action movies: he makes love to the king's pretty daughter and to the voluptuous daughter of a recruiting sergeant, rescues the Marquise de Pompadour from highway robbers, escapes from the hangman's noose by the skin of his profile, brings about the surrender of France's enemies on the battle...

But Japan's voters, who went to the polls this week, proved that their 74-year-old Premier is far from politically dead. In Japan's second election in its first year of full independence, Yoshida's conservative, pro-American Liberal Party won 199 of the 466 seats in the Lower Chamber of the Diet. Yoshida did not get an absolute majority...
