...public schools and no longer recognized as an official language. Last year Austria took the Tyroleans' claims to the U.N., which directed Austria and Italy to get together and settle the problem. Two tries earlier this year failed, but in preparation for a third try later this month, tacit agreement had been reached on giving the German minority a larger hand in internal affairs...
...striking teachers menacingly massed in front of the Parliament building in Teheran fortnight ago, the Shah personally cautioned his tough police to proceed gently. "One martyred student or teacher is all the Communists require to start a revolution," he said gloomily-a tacit admission of the explosive state of his nation. But in the scuffling down on Parliament square a police major lost his head, pulled his revolver, killed one teacher and wounded three others. There was no revolution. Yet students and teachers rioted bloodily in Teheran, fought hand-to-hand skirmishes with police, paraded the dead...
Late in the coup's first day, the army garrison at Oran elected to join General Challe, and the revolt was no longer confined to one city. Challe apparently could count on at least the tacit support of a majority of the 50,000 hard-bitten paratroopers in Algeria.

To a group of French intellectuals last week he said with imperial finality: "The Algerian affair is settled, finished. All that remains is the problem of executing the settlement...
...didn't get a kick out of college basketball," Robertson now admits. "It didn't excite me. But this game-the pro game-is plenty exciting." Playing guard for the Royals (he is too small for forward), Robertson has taken charge of the Royals, with the tacit backing of Coach Charley Wolf, just as he automatically has run every one of his teams from the seventh grade on. Robertson has learned to work in close tandem with Jack Twyman (6 ft. 6 in., 210 lbs.), the team's only other established star, but he does not hesitate...
