...Mediterranean (probable outlet: Gaza) through friendly Hashimite kingdoms to the oil and bases of Iraq. As long as they hold Abdullah's purse strings, they will try to hold Abdullah to this more modest plan. Said a British official in Amman last week: "The Legion will be very prudent. We want no wild adventures." Britain's subsidy of $8,000,000 a year still continues, and the Legion's British commander, Major General John Bagot Glubb ("Glubb Pasha"), was still in Amman last week as its "administrative" head...

Said he: "She is the other half of my being, the other half of my brain...
Harvard Hall's present site was once occupied by one of the most ancient of the College buildings, which also bore the name of the College's first benefactor and namesake. But in the year 1764 a smallpox epidemic broke out in Massachusetts, and a prudent General Court moved to Cambridge to escape the worst of the plague. In the midst of the winter vacation, old Harvard Hall suddenly caught fire, and despite the efforts of a night-shirted Governor and Legislature it burned to the ground, consuming the greater part of the library including all save...
