Under Ghana's new republican
constitution, which Mr.. Bing draft

few months ago after popular ap-

Objective observers say some such
system is probably appropriate for

ment in which Ghana finds itself.
But so long as Mr.. Bing enjoys
President Nkrumah's confidence,
the power of the presidency auto

Further, the overwhelming ma

of any check which Parliament
might otherwise apply to his &C

An indignant London literary
critic thinks the Folger Library
has reduced the works of

level of "Peyton Place" with
its paperback edition called
General Readers Shake

The anonymous critic for the
Times Literary Supplement of
London recently wrote that the
library seems Ito be geSturing
to a vague drugstore or airport
newsstand public" with its
paperback Shakespeare.
"A priggish person might
wonder" the critic said
priggiShly, whether it is at all
worthwhile to design an edi-
ton to help you pass the time
as you wait for your plane to
tuscaloosa, Ala, when you have
grown weary of your dippings
into Peyton Place. -"
1T is good to make Shake
speare available for all" he
added. "but who can profit from
having him reduced to some
thing as light and undemanding
as a pulp magazine or a strip
cartoon book?
Shakespeare the stimulant
seems preferable to Shakespeare
the tranquilizer."
DR.. Louis Wright, director of
the Folger Library, replied
