Sincere or evasive, that attitude may plunge Chicago into a battle that Northerners would have thought only Southerners cared to fight. It would not be the first scrap for Ben Willis, 59, who runs the nation's third-biggest school system: 462 schools with 492,862 students, plus two teachers' colleges and a junior college with six branches, a staff of 19,000, and a yearly budget of $286 million. As president of the American Association of School Administrators, Willis embodies all the trials and triumphs of a job that spans politics as much as education...
...Communist Pathet Lao rebels because the Pathet Lao interfere with their traditional opium trade. Laotian politicians-right, left and neutralist -jabber inconclusively in the hope of forming a coalition government that can unite the country. And in faraway Geneva, Russia, Red China, the U.S. and eleven other nations scrap interminably over a workable arrangement for ending the war. Biggest bone of contention: the withdrawal of foreign troops from Laos, including the 300-man U.S. Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG...
...determined that the rest of the world should not consider the four-month trial a "legal lynching by vengeful Jews." Prosecutor Hausner exhaustively reexamined every scrap of testimony Eichmann had offered in his defense.

...European demand for U.S. raw materials should grow. Common Market duties will remain low on the materials and fuels that Europe needs to feed her burgeoning industrial machine. Thus there will be an increase in the shipments of U.S. ores, fibers, scrap, raw chemicals, and non-mineral oils, which constitute 30% of current U.S. exports to the Continent. Exports of food and tobacco, which make up another 30% of the U.S. total, should remain about even, as rising European demand is balanced by rising protectionism for Europe's farmers...
Cities that set modestly realistic goals are better off. Milwaukee projected 500,000 Seaway tons a year by 1965, may well hit that total this year, helped by a surprising spurt in scrap-metal exports. Ports in Canada are also doing handsomely, partly because railways there are not slashing rates selectively to buck the Seaway as U.S. railroads are doing. Hamilton, Ont., now the busiest port on the lakes, increased its traffic by 600,000 tons last year. Montreal went up 300,000 tons, Toronto...
