Mountaintop Threats. The bare-bosomed Blue Bell girls are safe from the sunburn of the Sahara this year: getting the oil from Hassi Messaoud through the rebel country to the Mediterranean seaboard is practically impossible. In the desert, where no man can hide from the hovering helicopter, there is no trouble from the rebel fellagha, but the wild Atlas Mountains, which bar all routes northward from the oilfield, shelter some of the toughest Moslem rebel gangs. On the final 150-mile stretch of the railroad from Oran there have been continuous attacks by rebels for a year. In one night...
...legislative council should be elected by popular vote from an election roll open to all, regardless of race.

Europe has been convinced since World War II, and there thousands of men and women of all ages happily spend their weekends halfway between plane and earth. It is time for the sport to flourish in the U.S., says Istel. "There's no more to parachute jumping, done right, than...
...even a hint of a one-world point of view, finally drove patient School Superintendent William Moreland into resigning (TIME, April 22). Last week it announced the latest phase of its crusade-a revision of the elementary-school social-studies curriculum that will keep Houston's younger generation safe from learning anything at all about three-fourths of the globe. The curriculum...
