Premier Prince Souvanna Phouma of Laos is clearly a man who prefers the comforting sound of temple bells to the strident sounds of war. And although he was hoisted to the premiership by young (26) and moody Paratroop Captain Kong Le after a successful coup d'état in August, Souvanna basically abhorred soldiers in government ("There is always a coup in the offing").

Learning should be a dialogue between men, as well as the imparting of a discipline; frequently what is of lasting value in a course is not its content, but the chance it has offered to meet a great teacher. In the most recent Harvard Educational Review there is an article by Dean Whitla, instructor in Education and Director of the Office of Tests, concerned with education as the interaction of human beings.
