Nations which get their independence by exercising a boundless nationalism often appear incapable of keeping their nationalism within boundaries. A case in point: the inchoate Republic of Indonesia, which cannot govern itself but claims half of New Guinea. Another: Egypt, which had hardly said goodbye to the British before it was reaching out for the Sudan. But these claims hardly match those of the new Sherman Empire of Morocco, which until a year ago was a part-French, part-Spanish protectorate. Fanatical Moroccan nationalists have staked out a claim to a slice of northwest Africa roughly equal in area...
...symptomatic of Ireland's present difficulties that last week's elections were almost without issue. De Valera campaigned almost exclusively on the grounds that the coalition government of John A.

We try to govern ourselves by our three Rs: respect for the viewer, respect for the performer, and respect for the material itself...
Head-on collisions between particles, say Jones and Ohkawa, will begin a new epoch in physics. The rules that govern such matters are complicated by relativity, but generally speaking, two particles that collide with energies of 15 billion electron volts each will have the smashing effect of a single particle with 540 billion electron volts. Such enormous energy is found only in rare cosmic rays, which can be studied undisturbed only at the inaccessible top of the atmosphere. If goodly numbers of these collisions can be caused in the laboratory, where they can be observed accurately, a new and horrendous...
Recognizing that anyone who wants to govern Indonesia must have the support of the army, Ali was at last prepared to pay well for that support. In the six weeks since the revolts began, Ali's government has promoted more than 100 army officers, including many in rebellious Sumatra. Last week, in yet another conciliatory gesture, the Premier dispatched Army Chief of Staff Nasution to Sumatra. Nasution's prime task: to coax Colonel Maludin Simbolon, most popular of the Sumatra rebels, out of his jungle hideout and "reconcile" him to the government...
