...history that it is superior in all ways to the lower; and the intellectual proletariat is encouraged to accept a "just inferiority" and develop a liking for sports. Modern wonders abound in Young's Utopia; the morning rocket leaves regularly for the moon, and England's southwestern counties have been covered with concrete for the convenience of motorists. But even as the author writes, the end is in sight. A general strike is called by a fusion party of disgruntled old men, trade unionists dimly aware that their class has been milked of all intelligence capable of leadership...

These beatings and shootings, which sent a shudder of shock and disgust through all India last week, took place in the steamy, waterlogged southwestern state of Kerala, the Indian state under the rule of an elected Communist government. Trouble started in a series of scuffles between students and police in the coastal district of Alleppey over the restoration of a one-anna (2?) student fare on the ferryboats. In the days that followed, hundreds of students, also protesting against higher tuitions and Communist textbooks in the schools, were hustled off to jail, and some were beaten senseless. Then political demonstrators...
