Written Word Mission in Peruvian Rainforest Suburb
In Yarinacocha Peru the Summer Institute of Linguistics, a 1946-founded mission, analyzes unwritten Indian languages to create written forms and teach reading. Translators work long stints in villages, then train teachers who return to establish local schools while praising Bible translations. Critics warn of cultural fragmentation and moral concerns. The project gains government support and marks 20th anniversary with President Belaunde Terry possible attendance.

Southwest Water War threatens Marble Gorge project
A campaign by conservationists may delay the Marble Gorge dam on the Colorado River, a key piece of the Central Arizona Project and the Pacific Southwest Water Plan. Leaders argue the dam would flood scenic gorges and provide limited water relief, while the Interior Department notes it supports future water development and hydroelectric revenue.

Menuhin Turns Fifty A Life of Music and Giving
American born violinist Yehudi Menuhin marks his 50th birthday in London with plans to take a year off from concertizing. He will teach at Stoke d'Abernon Surrey and launch a new school in Los Gatos California while continuing to perform sparingly and nurture young prodigies. Menuhin remains American at heart despite British knighthood and residence, valuing family, teaching, and cultural exchange. He recalls a storied early career from San Francisco to Carnegie Hall and continues to influence the next generation through his schools and family participation. He and his sisters Hepzibah and Yalta, plus son Jeremy, performed a Mozart triple piano concerto in the birthday celebration.
