...days the Egyptian passenger-freighter Cleopatra has been dockbound in Manhattan, immobilized and unloaded because of a picket line thrown up by the Seafarers International Union (TIME, May 9). The union complained that Nasser's discrimination against ships touching at Israeli ports was, in effect, unfair to U.S. labor. No one questioned the legitimacy of the seamen's grievances, but Nasser angrily retaliated by declaring a counter-boycott of all U.S. shipping. The trouble spread quickly to other Moslem nations, including such carefully cultivated friends of the U.S. as Tunisia and Libya. The enraged Arab nations...
...what has to be done, and in case of need, finish me." At 5:40 the next morning, the guard heard shots from Lee's room. When police broke in, they found Lee, his wife and younger son sitting hand in hand on a couch, their heads thrown back by the shock of death.

The final price tag will top Brazil's annual budget...
...prison psychiatry successful? Precise figures comparing crime-repeat rates after Medical Facility treatment and after ordinary imprisonment contain no pat answer, because of the way inmates are assigned and legal technicalities (e.g., a paroled felon is thrown back in the pen for committing a misdemeanor, though he may be close to "going straight"). A research program is under way to grade the expectations for a prisoner's future when he is committed, and test this prediction against his later performance...
