...intricate set of direct and indirect elections, under which 37 seats out of 65 in the new Legislative Council would be held by Africans. Twenty seats would be reserved to Europeans (10), Asians (8) and Arabs (2), but voted on by the entire electorate. This, in diluted form, met many of the original demands of the Africans' vigorous Labor Leader Tom Mboya, 29. He balked a bit, but when Macleod made it clear that this would be a final offer, Mboya accepted...
...moving toward dividing Algeria into new political units organized around the country's chief ethnic and religious groups: the Arabs, Berbers, Europeans, Jews and Mozabites (an austere Moslem desert sect). Instead of countrywide self-determination, in which the Arabs would clearly prevail, De Gaulle would be seeking some form of federation of semiautonomous communities-a kind of Gallic version of Britain's 1921 partition of Ireland...
Alfred University in upstate New York is a pleasant little (1,315 students) coed school, nestling in the Allegheny foothills 70 miles south of Rochester. Its catalogue makes a special point of its philosophy: "From the time of its founding [1857], Alfred University has never allowed discrimination in any form . . . The resulting homogeneity has served to produce unusually fine social relationships." Last week Alfred's homogeneity left a bitter taste in the mouth of its bursar, Edward K. Lebohner. The bursar's pretty blonde daughter had run off with the school's basketball star, a Negro...
...could do with an orchestra that only the week before, at the opening of Fidelia (TIME, Feb. 8), had sounded ragged and disorganized. "Tommy" Schippers had never conducted Verdi's Forza before, but he led orchestra and singers (Soprano Leonie Rysanek, Tenor Richard Tucker, both in top form) with a muscular authority that injected grand drama into every twist and turn of the tortuous plot. For Schippers, the essence of a good performance is spontaneity, and to achieve it when a performance becomes dull, he has been known to "make a deliberate mistake-like jumping a soprano" i.e., pulling...
...Kellogg explained that when the sun's radiation hits the atmosphere 75 miles above the earth, it breaks up many two-atom molecules of oxygen into separate atoms. The air is so thin at that level that the lonely oxygen atoms can seldom get together and reunite to form normal molecules. When the long darkness of winter creeps over the north polar region, an area of abnormally low pressure develops at 30 to 40 miles elevation. It sucks air down from above, and with the air come oxygen atoms that were brought to the pole by the circulation...
