...weaknesses. It was a threat that Nehru, typically, first tried not to see, then ignored and then tried to argue away. This spring he dismissed news stories of Tibet's revolt against the Red Chinese as "mere bazaar talk." When Tibet's religious leader, the young Dalai Lama, and 13,000 Tibetan refugees came pouring across India's border, Nehru seemed acutely uncomfortable. To Red China's hysterical charges that Indian "expansionists" were behind the revolt and that the "command center" of the rebels was in the Indian border town of Kalimpong, Nehru entered a soft...
...year ago, young Tom Mboya from Kenya was the toast of Accra, enjoying the benevolent patronage of that would-be leader of emerging Africa, Ghana's Prime Minister Kwame Nkrumah himself. The principal difference between the two men is that Nkrumah is the unchallenged boss of an independent nation of 5,000,000, almost all of them black, while Mboya, in the multiracial British colony of Kenya, is merely the leading African politician in a government where the whites run things.

Teacher Jaeger got the idea after wearying of his family's thriving Jaeger Machine Co. (pumps, hoists, compressors) in Columbus, Ohio.

M.) at Harvard, went to work setting...
...none of those pernicious and aggravating conditions and taboos that you get everywhere else on TV." Most memorable example to date-WNTA's unbowdlerized production of Jean Anouilh's sex farce. The Waltz of the Toreadors, whose aging lecher-hero is fond of leaning forward to tickle young bosoms with his medals, meanwhile delivering lines not usually heard from TV gag writers: "Science ought to find a way of putting women permanently to sleep; we could wake them up for a while at night; then they would go back to sleep again...
Into their divided, miscomprehending midst, as tutor to a still cheery teen-age daughter, comes a quiet young German, hating the land of which his brutal Nazi father seems a symbol, and eager for a friendly English home. Discerning about the neurotic Harringtons, he-who has known real horror-tries to prevent the needless horror the family is inflicting on itself. But in sounding the alarm bell, he feeds the fire, and soon accusations and recriminations flare up everywhere...
