Thus Punch reviewed Eliot's latest play. The Elder Statesman (TIME, Sept. 8). Cruel April's bard and the elder statesman of Anglo-American letters is 70 this week, and to the surprise of practically everybody, including himself, Thomas Stearns Eliot seems in love with love and life. The poet who was old at 23, when he wrote Prufrock, is getting young in his old age. Last year the erstwhile "aged eagle" talked about taking dancing lessons, and now he can be seen dining out and piloting his 31-year-old wife Valerie across dance floors. "His brow...
...Lahore, Prime Minister Noon let it be known that there was something more to his remarks than that. By promising "active cooperation'' with other Moslem countries. Noon hoped to cut the ground from under the opposition leaders who charge that Pakistan has "sold out" to the "Anglo-American bloc." He was not turning against the West exactly, but was inching closer to Nasser's Arab nationalism.

Last week, thanks to Khrushchev's miscalculations, the whole world could see that father's authority was already a little challenged...
India's Nehru, initially pleased by Russia's invitation, was now less keen to participate at the risk of promoting Nasserism and looking like a Soviet stooge. France's Charles de Gaulle continued to play his lone hand in the grand manner. Unmoved by Anglo-American disapproval, unshaken by the fact that every other NATO nation opposed his position in an impassioned 5½-hour session of the NATO Council, De Gaulle continued to call for private five-power chats, somewhere in Europe in the "necessary conditions of objectivity and serenity," and never mind about gathering...
Khrushchev could be counted upon to demand that the Anglo-American forces get out immediately, and that the great powers bind themselves not to intervene militarily in the Middle East from now on. He might get further mileage out of proposing an embargo on arms shipments to the area, knowing that the West would not abandon arms support of the Northern Tier of nations. The U.S., to accent the positive, would propose, among other things, an international economic development fund for the Middle East and a strengthening of U.N. capabilities to deal with "indirect aggression...
