...commissioned the firm to design a house for him on Belvedere Island in San Francisco Bay (construction starts this week). Mohr rents Architect Donn Emmons' own house, high on a hill above Mill Valley, overlooking the bay. Neither of these glasshouse enthusiasts had a stone to throw at the architects. The only complaint came from Ralph, Mohr's half-dachshund.

These new doubts about Nasser, and his own attempt to improve the bargain, have held back the final signing of an agreement with him (by the U.S., Britain and the World Bank) to build the $1.3 billion Aswan Dam on the Nile-a project bigger than the Pyramids and infinitely more useful.

When Paul Richer, 21, walked into the dark brick junior high school in little (pop. 962) Riceville, Iowa last fall, he intended to throw everything he had into this first teaching job. A burly man with a Phi Beta Kappa key from the State University of Iowa, he had long wanted to teach.
