...alchemy was simple. The first ingredient was a dusty, three-acre tract in a dowdy neighborhood just off grim Telegraph Avenue. The university acquired the site two years ago, and planned to use it for a recreation area restricted to university people. The $1,000,000 plot became a vacant eyesore when the university cleared it of buildings a year ago. Last month some of Berkeley's "street people"-an amorphous assemblage of hippies, yippies, students and others falling into no classification-took over the plot. They plowed the ground and, with $1,000 raised among themselves and neighborhood...
...occurs, the Administration could attempt to win a few Senate converts by acquiescing to a modification of Safeguard's prospectus. Any such change-on paper at least-would have the aim of making the program seem more experimental and less of a firm undertaking to build a 14-site network. This would be a difficult trick to turn; the next budgetary authorization involves construction of the first two sites. Still, the Administration needs to win only a handful of additional Senate votes. If that entails calling Safeguard, a research and development project rather than a frankly operational commitment...
...thousand years before Moses, a mighty city rose near what is now the city of Safad in northern Israel. Its name was Hazor (pronounced Hahtsor) and the Old Testament called it "head of all those kingdoms" of Canaan, the Israelites' Promised Land. Since archaeologists located the site of Hazor in 1875, they have uncovered 45-ft.-high walls, huge granaries, temples, citadels and cemeteries. But a basic question remained unanswered. Where were the waterworks capable of supporting such a metropolis in the arid Holy Land? The puzzle has now been solved by Archaeologist Yigael Yadin, a former chief...
Hands to the Sun. Yadin's earlier Hazor excavations, between 1955 and 1958, uncovered most of the known facts about the 22 successive cities that were built on the site from the third millennium until 200 B.C. Egyptians, Israelites, Aramaeans, Assyrians, Babylonians and Persians in turn laid siege to the city and built Hazor's fortifications anew. On various levels of the tell (an archaeological mound), Yadin has unearthed the remains of Solomon's mighty city gates, three separate Canaanite temples, basalt slabs engraved with hands praying to the sun, and an Israelite temple similar to Solomon...
...hospital in Oakland, Calif., shortly after his father had deserted the family. His mother worked as a waitress, a telephone operator and a dime-a-dance hostess until her marriage to a "cat-skinner"-the operator of Caterpillar tractors on Government road projects. McKuen was hauled from one construction site to another throughout the West and Northwest until, at age eleven, he split from his family and spent four years drifting in and out of small Western towns. He took odd jobs: rod man on a survey crew, plowman, cowboy...
