...Creation of a world government such as the one the World Federalists request would be a "wild leap" which might destroy the little international cooperation we now have, John H. Mansfield '50, said last night in defense of the United Nations. He spoke in a debate between two members of the Harvard World Federalists and two representatives of the Harvard UN Council...
Market for Progress. Turkish coal mines dig only one-tenth as efficiently as American mines. Turkish farmers still have few steel plows. But everybody seems to want improvement. Perhaps the most important result of Turkey's uneven march toward modernization is the creation of new demands-a great market for progress. Most Turks would understand the words of Celtik village's oldest inhabitant, 92-year-old Hayriye Soydan. Stooped, wrinkled and deaf, she still wears the traditional western Anatolian peasant costume-flowered baggy trousers, dark blouse, a blue-and-white yasmak (handkerchief) around her head. Sitting cross-legged...
...Budget. President Estimé, gambling about a fourth of his government's revenues on the chance of winning tourist dollars, seemed satisfied with Schmiedigen's creation. The 1,500 workers, singing as they hammered, spoke of it affectionately as "ti exposition pa'nous" (our little fair).

Thus, evil is nothingness...
...alone is enough to show why Novelist Elizabeth Bowen considers Henry Green "one of the living novelists whom I admire most." But Housemaid Edie, who builds their furtive little affair into a full-blown storm of love and wedding bells (in Britain), is an even more subtle and profound creation, warm as toast towards her Charley but cold and calculating as a stockbroker in getting him under the lock & key of matrimony. Cobwebs over Eire. Two such masterly characters deserve a masterly stage-set, and Author Green supplies it. Hollywood could make of Loving a movie almost as stunning...
