Sheldon Dietz '41, one of the three members of the Church St. Trust, which drafted the design, said that he thought the Coop was "making a very serious mistake" by keeping is plan basically unchanged.

...ruler, General Nguyen Khanh, who seems sincere and energetic in his efforts to press the anti-Communist war.

In the westernmost backwater of Charles de Gaulle's French community 4,250 miles from Paris, natives and tourists sit at sunny, sidewalk tables placidly nibbling crusty French bread and sipping flat French beer; in narrow streets, the scent of bougainvillaea mingles with the fumes of beeping Simcas and Peugeots.
