...then there was the ticklish problem of Brother Bobby, 35. The Presidentelect wanted him as his U.S. Attorney General-and knew there would be an outcry against it. Jack Kennedy thinks crime needs major attention-not only juvenile delinquency but also labor racketeering (with particular reference to Teamster Boss Jimmy Hoffa). He also wants a good, hard look at the federal regulatory agencies, and feels that Bobby would make an able crime-busting investigator. But both brothers knew that there would be a fuss; Jack Kennedy argued that it would blow over. In private conversations he indicated a willingness...
President Charles de Gaulle's talk of an "Algerian republic" angered Algeria's European extremists, distressed many Frenchmen and left the Moslem rebels unimpressed. But it made one major convert: Habib Bourguiba, 57, President of Tunisia, who in a fit of exasperation last October welcomed Communist aid to the F.L.N. rebels. Last week Bourguiba was hailing De Gaulle's proposal as a "big step forward" and using his impressive behind-the-scenes talents to persuade...

...PRIZE OF ONE, headlined the Washington Post-and so it was when Dr. Donald Glaser, 34, this year's Nobel laureate in physics, married Ruth Louise ("Bonnie") Thompson, 23, a University of California math major. First thrown together in a U.C. radiation lab, where he was testing his liquid hydrogen bubble chamber and she was a part-time programmer for a computer, the Glasers winged off last week toward Stockholm and a honeymoon helped along with $43,627 in Nobel money...
After six years of house arrest in a Cairo suburb, Major General Mohammed Naguib, original "strongman" of Egypt's 1952 revolution against King Farouk, was once again at liberty. Naguib, who proved too good to be strong, was first slapped into confinement when he showed signs of developing mass popularity and thereby outgrowing his role as front man for a junta led by Egypt's current President, Gamal Abdel Nasser. Though Naguib was freed last July on the anniversary of his revolution, his new status passed unnoticed until last week, because he continues to enjoy life...
