...Rival. Only a month ago, Norodom called a public referendum and got an overwhelming endorsement of his rule. His ministers, however, are considerably less popular. The King's domestic opposition, the left-wing Democratic Party of Jungle Exile Son Ngoc Thanh (TIME, Feb. 21). complained to the neutral Truce Commission recently that King Norodom was about to violate the Geneva agreements. King Norodom had a project afoot to disfranchise Viet Minh Communists in next April's general elections, despite Geneva's insistence that everyone gets a vote.

University of California neurologists considered the possibility that J.S. was suffering from hysteria, but soon had to rule that out.

...whether or not a vague rule in the Regulations Book requires students to "behave with the maturity and responsibility expected of a Harvard student," the Dean's Office gave no indication that it would suddenly apply the general rule to the parking situation. Illegal parking has been going on for years without decanal admonishment. In effect, by not publicizing its attitude, the Administration was giving its tacit consent to minor parking violations by permitting them to continue so long.
