Troubled Blueprint. The Middle Eastern Frontiersmen, who are rated by Westerners as extremely able but inexperienced, face huge stacks of trouble. From Cairo, Nasser keeps up a stream of anti-Hussein invective, accusing the King and his new Premier of being imperialist pawns and even of secretly encouraging Israeli ambitions. As a result of the end of the Arab-Israeli fighting in 1949, Jordan increased its population by about two-thirds; all of the new citizens are Palestinian Arabs, many of them refugees who feel no loyalty either to Hussein or to Jordan. Little Jordan (pop. 1,600,000) gets...
Like ants with headlights, the cars turn off Sunset and Wilshire and pour into the University of California at Los Angeles, their drivers stoically paying the 50? automobile admission fee that U.C.L.A. charges to discourage overcrowding the 411-acre campus with cars. Out of the cars stream 9,500 night students, who head across the campus for courses that range from modern Armenian to thermal management of spacecraft.

From there, the stream of brusque orders still went out-to his troops, to his police, to his aides in the African Solidarity Party. But now many of Gizenga's decrees were being ignored. His army chief, General Victor Lundula, had declared his loyalty to the central government regime of Premier Cyrille Adoula in Leopoldville; when Gizenga angrily sent a platoon of Stanleyville police out to arrest Lundula, the cops began bickering among themselves, broke up and returned to their barracks without...
...Stream of Treasure. Day after day, treasure poured from the mound, which is now known locally as "the mound that lays golden eggs." The biggest bowl, 8 in. high and 6 in. in diameter, shows a bird with animal legs and a mane. Other bowls are lively with prancing unicorns, bulls, rams, eagles, fish, a warrior in chain mail holding two leopards by their necks. The diggers turned up gold jewelry and gold household and toilet articles (ear cleaners, tweezers, needles), stone maceheads, terra-cotta figurines, a marble sword hilt inlaid with gold and lapis lazuli. Said one ragged workman...
