With the Egyptians Khalil maintains solid ties of friendship. Sudanese cultural ties with Egypt are close; many Sudanese were educated in Egyptian universities. But Khalil has labored mightily to remind his electorate (some of whom actually favor union with Egypt) that the Sudan did not achieve independence from Britain in order to become a dependent of Gamal Nasser. In the Khartoum Parliament, Khalil personally glowered down an attempt by the opposition to force him to break off diplomatic relations with Britain and France after they invaded Suez...
Though some of Khalil's critics recall the time he edited the speech of a rival politician by indicating with the muzzle of his pistol the lines to be deleted, he has slowly built up increasingly solid support for his policies. Nine months ago Khalil felt unable to sign up for U.S. aid when U.S. Special Ambassador James P. Richards offered it under the Eisenhower Doctrine.

For this reason, the Monitor gets the ultimate tribute of the news profession: its subscribers include 4,000 editors and newspapers throughout the world, some of whom pay as much...

Dr. Ritchey, chief rocket man for Thiokol Chemical Corp., manufacturer of solid propellants, backs up his flat statement in Astronautics. He has no hope that liquid-fuel rocket engines ("a remarkable chemical processing plant") will ever get spaceships into space...
...relative power of the two plays in a way simply reflects the relative force of Thomas Wolfe and Sherwood Anderson--Wolfe a chaotic, massive, but overwhelmingly vital power, and Anderson a smaller, more controlled talent. Whereas Angel as a book has the solid core but lacks shape, Winesburg, despite its wellshaped phrases, has a weaker core. Therefore a stage craftsman can, by pruning and shaping, transfer and even intensify much of Thomas Wolfe; the only important element lost in making Angel into a play was the visible stagnation and oppressive boredom, which are communicable far more easily in a long...
