...Bryn Mawr. She spent her junior year at the University of Munich. It was at Bryn Mawr that Diana first showed an interest in social problems. Like many collegians, she was active in voter registration and tutored junior high school students. At night she would go by train to Philadelphia, where for two years she tutored two ghetto boys. Said Carol: "I remember how incredulous Diana was that a seventh-or eighth-grade child couldn't read, didn't even know the alphabet." A Princeton football player proposed marriage, but Diana said: "I don't want...
...already received 28 of the 50 Phantoms ordered during Lyndon Johnson's Administration and approved by Nixon; delivery will be completed before summer's end. Moreover, Arab air strength is limited by a problem that it will take a long time to overcome: a shortage of trained pilots. Thus even France's recent sale of 108 hot Mirage jets to Libya is unlikely to change the equation soon. Egypt, with 33.5 million people, is unable to train enough pilots to fly 350 Soviet aircraft; Libya, which has a more backward population of 1,800,000, will have...
...home. They are the only true pan-Arab force, moving easily from country to country to fight and collecting taxes in the form of payroll deductions from other Palestinians' salaries and manning their own border checkpoints.

When Brandt, accompanied by East German Premier Willi Stoph (see box) walked across a square to the Hotel Erfurter Hof, the cheers began: "Willy! Willy! Willy!" When the two men stepped inside, the crowd broke through the police lines and surged across the square. Then, as if to make sure that nobody mistook which Willy they meant, they shouted: "Willy Brandt ans Fenster [Willy Brandt to the window]!" Moved to tears, Brandt briefly appeared at a third-story window...
When she first streaked across the plains 21 years ago, the California Zephyr was a gleaming wonder-on-wheels. The first luxury Vista-Dome streamliner to run between Chicago and San Francisco, the stainless-steel train topped 90 m.p.h. on the straightaway, dazzling onlookers at every wayside crossing. Last week the Cal Zephyr, rattling from disrepair and more than 6,000,000 miles of wear, made its through-run for the last time. Latest victim of rising costs, declining patronage and the reluctance of railroads to promote passenger service, the train was, as one member of the Interstate Commerce Commission...
