...Oregon's indefatigable Maurine Neuberger, 53, the wheel came a somber circle. Her husband and predecessor as Oregon's junior Democratic Senator, Richard Neuberger, in 1959 reported himself cured of cancer only to die the following year of a stroke. Last week Maurine, who had not been herself since a recent swing through Africa, was operated on in Portland for removal of an intestinal growth. Though preliminary biopsy revealed "low-grade malignant changes," her condition at week's end was reportedly "good...

Dracula's Daughter, in short, makes fine entertainment, and tomorrow night's WNAC presentation - The Mad Ghoul-promises to be equally rewarding...
Does Arab Fight Arab? Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser took to Cairo radio to denounce the revolt. In somber, ragged sentences, he declared: "What happened today is more serious than Suez. Any division in national unity is much more serious than foreign aggression." To "straighten out the situation," as he put it in his broadcast, Nasser ordered his fleet and 2,000 paratroops to take seaport Latakia, started commandeering merchantmen to haul ground troops to Syria, which is seperated from Egypt by Jordan, Lebanon and Israel. Suddenly, Nasser changed his mind. He called off the attack just after...
