...occupying a network of ijth century streets around Dam Square. While police fumed impotently. the nozem ranged up and down, heckling tourists on the prowl, making fun of the prostitutes, sometimes even smashing the big bay windows in which the girls display themselves. To avoid trouble, tourists began to stay away from the district; prostitution and pimping revenues fell accordingly...
...half Somalia's income. There was also the difficulty that, though camels are Somalia's chief source of wealth, much of the Somali nomads' grazing lands lie over the border in Ethiopia. To the frustrated disgust of Somali nationalists, moreover, French Somaliland voted last year to stay in the French Community, and the French, determined to hang onto their profitable Djibouti rail line to the interior, have made common cause with the Ethiopians against the dream of an independent Greater Somalia made up of all the territories occupied by Somali tribes.

...most striking vessel was Russia's new Mikhail Lomonosov, painted resplendent white with the earth encircled by a satellite gleaming proudly on her bow. Much bigger (5,960 tons) than most Western research ships, she carries a complement of 131, of whom 71 are scientists.

Another crack runs ashore in Mexico, to form the Gulf of California...
...London Observer profile on Hagerty on the eve of Ike's visit: "Even when competing with the smooth liquefaction and intelligently directed asides of the Foreign Office spokesman, his authority, his singlemindedness, his bristling, barbed personality still dominate." But from the beginning of President Eisenhower's British stay, Hagerty had his troubles. He met the press (400 strong, including 50 Washington newsmen) in a stuffy white tent on Carlton House Terrace that was promptly dubbed the "Hagertorium." Earlier Hagerty had startled newsmen by referring to Germany's Chancellor Konrad Adenauer as "Konnie." In the Hagertorium, he angered...
