...outpouring of Moslems. On Sunday afternoon, a paratroop regiment arrived from the back country, where it had been battling the rebel F.L.N. Rushed to the Moslem quarter of Belcourt, the paratroops took one look at the flag-waving Moslems and then advanced, firing submachine guns from the hip. Explained the paratroop colonel: "My men have been fighting the rebels in the Aurés Mountains. They are amazed to come up against the very same rebel flag in the heart of Algiers." As the guns spoke and Moslems died, frantic European women on nearby balconies screamed encouragement to the paratroops...
...Hip Deep. By week's end it was apparent that New Orleans would be no Little Rock. For one thing, Jimmie Davis and his legislature, perhaps mindful of Little Rock, did not care to back their last-ditch segregation laws with National 'Guard power, and after flare-ups of violence they began calling for moderation. For another, New Orleans' 1,073-man police force, firmly directed by Mayor Morrison and his youthful (37) Chief Joseph Giarrusso, held the violence in check, gave Davis little justification for moving in with emergency troops. Davis actually had little support among...
Regardless of the judges' decision, the New Orleans school board is likely to be hip-deep in trouble for some time.

All this week, while schools are closed for a holiday (the combination of Thanksgiving and a teachers' convention), board lawyers will meet with bankers...
Forever Amberg. The man Newhouse picked to rescue the Globe from its spiritual and economic depression had already accomplished a similar transformation on another Newhouse property, the Syracuse Post-Standard. He is Richard Hiller Amberg, now 48, a grey-haired, hip-shooting combination of businessman, newsman and club-joining civic promoter. On the Globe, Amberg cut production costs, tidied the makeup, concentrated on suburban and local coverage that the internationally minded P-D had begun to neglect, and launched a spate of civic campaigns for better hospitals, better airline service, better traffic safety, and better everything else that would make...
Against Syracuse last week, Robertson not only scored 39 points to lead his team to a 143-140 victory, but artfully threaded passes to teammates to assist in another eight baskets and catapulted off the floor to grab a dozen rebounds in elbowing, hip-swinging skirmishes under the hoop. In everything he did, Robertson fascinated pro fans with the same quality that has always set him apart: a rhythmic style of play that seemed to float him around the floor...
