During all the recent difficulty in furthering the aims of desegregation in the South, there have been reminders that some areas of the South have recognized their problems and done something about them quietly. In a front page story yesterday, the New York Times wrote of Winston-Salem's (N.C.) R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., which recently elevated a Negro woman to a chief inspector's post; she oversees eleven machines manned by both white and Negro workers...
Atlantic College was born of a speech made in 1955 to NATO's Defense College in Paris. The speaker was Kurt Hahn. 76, who founded Bavaria's famed Salem School in 1920 and went on (after Hitler forced him out of Germany) to start Scotland's tough Gordonstoun, where Prince Charles goes. The speech gave British Air Marshal Sir Lawrence Darvall an idea: a chain of international schools based on Hahn principles. Sir Lawrence, then head of the Defense College, had often been impressed by the way NATO got men divided by language., history and prejudice...
...week's cover of President James Monroe is part of that record.* President Monroe sat for Stuart in Boston early in July 1817, four months after he had taken office in his first term, and while he was on a trip inspecting military installations.

Then he was off for a 351-mile drive to Baker (pop. 9,986), in sparsely settled, heavily Democratic eastern Oregon, for a typical round of small-town campaigning-an inspirational speech on civic virtue to the local high school assembly, a handshaking tour of an industrial plant (''Hatfield's the name, nice to see you again"), a visit with the editor of the local weekly, a talk to the Powder River Sportsmen...
Turning up at ground-turning ceremonies for a new, $50,000 library in the Manhattan exurb of South Salem, N.Y. (pop. 500) was ex-Vice President, ex-Progressive Party Presidential Candidate and now Gentleman Farmer Henry A. Wallace, 73, a well satisfied borrower from the old library. While furrowing away on his 115-acre farm (chickens, gladioli, hybrid corn) nearby, Wallace had asked the little, 9,500-book library to find him a rare edition of a 400-page treatise published in 1766 called Histoire Naturelle du Fraisier (Natural History of the Strawberry Plant). Sure enough, after shelling...
