...Maronites are one of 14 Eastern Christian churches that are in doctrinal union with Rome, although they have their own customs, liturgical languages and ritual practices. Maronites trace their origin back to the 5th century monks of Bait-Marun, who, from a fortress-monastery dedicated to St. Maron, upheld the faith against heretics. Although isolated from other Christian groups by Islam's triumph in the East, the Maronites always maintained their loyalty to the Pope; when the knights of the First Crusade landed in the Middle East, Maronites were there to help them set up camp.

Meanwhile, the bitter rivals were facing new complications. From Algiers, word came that Benkhedda was finished, and that his future role-no matter what his title-could only be a subordinate one. But the anti-Ben Bella cause is still being upheld by hard-bitten Belkacem Krim, who effectively controls the mountainous region of Kabylia, and by subtle, self-educated Mohammed Boudiaf, 40, who spent most of the war in a French prison with Mohammed ben Bella and grew to mistrust...

Growing concern for international affairs did not overshadow undergraduate interest in domestic politics. A University-wide poll sought opinion on the race for the governorship of Massachusetts and on the policies of the Roosevelt Administration. Harvard upheld one of its sons but condemned another, backing Gaspar G. Bacon '08 by a 7-1 margin over Mayor Curley (who subsequently won) and completely reversing a former pro-Roosevelt stand.

...comment on medicare for the aged [June 1]. Not only are our hospital bills paid for, but our drugs, doctors' visits to our homes (a luxury in America). Our eyes and teeth are all taken care of-and last, but not least, our free choice of doctors is upheld. What a comfort to know that my savings are safe in the Bank of England-without the thought at the back of my mind that one day the lot will have to go on medical expenses...
