...Barnett's first acts as Governor will be a conference with his particular hero, Arkansas' Governor Orval Faubus and like-minded Southern segregationists. "I am going to put forth every effort,'' he promised, "to organize Southern Governors to create and crystallize public opinion throughout the nation with reference to our traditions and Southern way of life." Crowed State Democratic Chairman Bidwell Adam after the election: "I want to say I'm thankful to God that Ross Barnett has saved Mississippi...
...Suffering People." India's new posture stiffened spines throughout Southeast Asia. In Burma the government signed a seven-year treaty with the autonomous and Chinese-infiltrated Shan and Kachin states of Burma that would for the first time put the protection of their borders with Red China under army control. The U.S. promised and prepared to deliver airborne aid to the threatened kingdom of Laos (see below).

In 1959 the wiry, octopus-like weed and its pesky cousins have had a vintage year-and so have the gardening and seed companies that help the homeowner in his never...
...from being more primitive than its successors, Olmec art is on the whole subtler, gentler, freer and more naturalistic than they are. This naturally bothers archaeologists; it seems to go against reason. So does the presence of two distinct physical types side by side throughout Olmec art: one lean and aquiline, the other Negroid. Meyer's two ambassadors from the lost Olmec world display both types. They are not gods, apparently, but men-alert and still, and perhaps forever strange...
