About the only people that aren't satisfied with it are the National Guardians, who are complaining because they are afraid that they will be trained. Of course, the threat of training may well wipe out the National Guard, or a large segment of it. But this only proves that the National Guard is not worth saving, at least in its present form. It is a relic of a Jeffersonian fear of standing armies and in this day should not be given much consideration, especially by Congress. Put up your dukes, General Walsh, we're ready to fight...
...Minister Resident Robert Lacoste hurried back to Paris for consultations. His policy of reform-dissolving the old French-dominated municipal councils with a view to new elections-had proved a flop. No Arab was willing to present himself as a candidate, and the colons viewed any concession as a threat.

...Chicago's Oriental Institute, and a team of Yale experts, will be published this month (Yale University; $15).

The real task facing the U.N. troops is really just beginning to appear...
...attempted to cross the Square; six Volkswagens so far have disappeared into Massachusetts Avenue; and a small child who slipped from his mother's hand and wandered into the street has not been recovered. Considering the urgency of the matter, and the city's inability to meet the threat adequately, we mushed through the ooze to Mother Widener, trusting her for a way out. We asked: What are this enemy's weaknesses, if any? Who is it anyway...
