...President's attitude toward the Bell case." In almost 15 years as one of TIME'S top correspondents, Jim Bell has suffered just about every vicissitude of the reporter's trade, including near mobbing at the hands of an Iranian mob that mistook him for Winston Churchill.

(U.S. firms have also made contributions, and Sir Winston has given...
...addition. Literary Scholar Eustace Tillyard, master of Jesus College, called the plan "pernicious," added with scorn and resignation that ''mere flesh and blood do not reject the bait of a million pounds odd, nor does common human decency care to incur the odium" of insulting Sir Winston. Last week, while opponents kept a sullen silence, invitations were sent to 20 architects to compete for the honor of designing the new seat of science...
