...layer of laughter, on a grim foundation, was an uninhibited, spontaneous measure of the extent to which Alateens learn to live with their special set of problems. They share advice on such crises as what to tell a date who shows up when Dad has been taken drunk in the living room. Answer: explain later to the date that father is an alcoholic and a sick person. Through discussions, lectures and films, they explore the broader problem of alcoholism. But their study is not aimed at helping them to help a drinking parent to reform or even find...
...Sharing the Nile. For the U.A.R., Qattara could be a useful auxiliary to the 10 billion kw-h expected from the Aswan High Dam. Except for insignificant rainfall, Egypt depends totally on the Nile for irrigation and power. Since 1,900 miles of the Upper Nile belong to the Sudan and its headwaters to four other countries with demands of their own, Egypt's future development may someday require more power than its share of the Nile can provide...
Upset Cart. In the days of Baker and Keith and Zemurray, the banana trade was deliciously profitable, and many a Boston fortune was founded upon "green gold" (from the greenness of bananas , when shipped).

Labor costs rose steeply during the 1950s. The company has been faced with "unprecedented, abnormal" bad weather and persistent plant diseases...
North America's most comprehensive welfare state is the Canadian prairie province of Saskatchewan. In a flat wheatland more than twice the size of New Mexico, 907,000 scattered inhabitants share a tradition of help-the-other-fellow frontier radicalism that is as old as provincial incorporation 54 years ago. But most of Saskatchewan's social-welfare schemes have been concocted since 1944 by Canada's only socialist government, run by the ever-winning (four straight elections) Cooperative Commonwealth Federation party. Last week CCF Premier T. C. ("Tommy") Douglas dissolved his 53-seat legislature, in which...
...economic recovery. Yet these and other accomplishments, says De Gaulle, meant less to the old-line politicians than their loss of freedom to hamstring him. In the end, he knew that he would have to step down, since he rejected the idea of an outright dictatorship while refusing to share his powers with a whole spectrum of ineffective parties. Some comfort lay in the fact that he could "withdraw from events before they withdrew from...
