Seriously wounded, Cockrell was taken to a hospital in a neighboring town. And within minutes of the shooting, nearly half of Boyd's townspeople began gathering in a sullen, jeering crowd outside the town hall. Cried one voice: "I hope Cockrell dies." Cried another: "We sure won't miss him. He can stay gone." With such sentiment clearly prevailing, Main Street could start preparing for the nightly roar of the hot-rodders...
Through the hot summer nights the radio voices continued to shrill defiance in accents as arresting as those of a muezzin calling the faithful to prayer from a minaret, with words as incendiary as a skyful of fire bombs. Nasser's propagandists were sure that they had the edge. Mused one contentedly: "Our radio is so successful because any Arab anywhere in the Arab world can simply turn the knob and hear the echo of thoughts that fill his own heart...
...sure, the commission had a few changes to suggest. On controversial Article XIV, it proposed that the Constitutional Council pass on the President of France's right to assume dictatorial powers whenever, in his judgment, national security was gravely threatened.

At week's end Makarios flatly rejected the Macmillan...

Assuming that the world population is 3 billion, U.N. scientists said they believe that current nuclear-bomb fallout accounts for between 400 and 2,000 leukemia cases a year (total: 150,000), as compared to 15,000 from natural radiation. Science is not yet sure how much radiation is needed to produce leukemia. The U.S. National Academy of Sciences estimates the threshold as 40 rem. If this is true, and if all bomb tests stop this year, said the U.N. report, then the ultimate total of fallout leukemia cases would be between...
