...repercussions of foreign bribery by U.S. corporations continued to rattle much of the world last week. In the wake of American probes that have uncovered massive payoffs to foreign businessmen and government officials, especially by Lockheed (TIME cover, Feb. 23), one foreign country after another began cranking up its own investigation. The major developments...
...expatriates should not be expected to return to, nor should American universities train physicians for a government that, since its inception in 1953 in the wake of a CIA-sponsored coup, has been run as a dictatorship. For the Med School to do so would mean ignoring Iran's 70,000 member secret police force, which keeps tight control on political action and education, spreading its web tight enough to include at least one agent in every university classroom.

Though the marchers halted short of Spanish battle lines, Hassan secured from Madrid an agreement partitioning the colony between Morocco and Mauritania. Algeria quickly denounced the deal and warned darkly of "protracted guerrilla...
