Died. Thomas A. Gilcrease, 72, Oklahoma oil mogul, a part Creek Indian who was allotted 160 acres of tribal land beneath which he found a bonanza, some $12 million of which he spent amassing a collection of Indian Americana, ranging from the art and annals of 45 tribes to Frontier Painters Frederic Remington and George Catlin's best oils on the fading redskin, which he gave to the city of Tulsa; of a stroke; in Tulsa, Okla...

The great French civilizing mission brought many good things: an end to cholera, typhus and malaria, the elimination of tribal wars and devastating famines, the beginnings of industrialization. But France also took away the best lands the tribes had owned, and, as the Moslem population rocketed upward, the remaining flocks and inefficient farms could not keep pace...
