...darkest days of World War I, about the only consolation that fell to the Belgians was the capture in Africa of two small and scenically beautiful German territories on the eastern border of the vast Belgian Congo. Thereafter, first under a League of Nations mandate and then under the U.N., Belgium continued to rule Ruanda and Urundi through a master tribe of willowy African giants named the Watutsis. The Watutsis had been for four centuries the lords of the Land of the Mountains of the Moon, and there seemed little reason why they should not continue...
Nine Dead Bodies. To Nehru, things seemed to be going better for a change. Abroad, Red China, after long months of border aggression and arrogant bluster, had finally sent him a note couched in terms of common civility. China's Premier Chou En-lai proposed that the armed forces of both nations withdraw 12½ miles from the positions they now hold, and urged an early meeting to discuss frontier problems.

After the conference, when prodded by his aides, Herter hastily issued a statement that his press conference remarks "related only to the legalities of the rival claims."

Regimen's hard-driving maker, Drug Research Corp.. helped them to decide. It anted up more than $1,500,000 for TV ads last year (and also spent $443,028 on newspaper ads, $189,837 on magazine...
...DELHI, India, Nov. 16--Prime Minister Nehru turned down today the proposal by Premier Chou En-lai of Red China for an early Himalayan summit meeting to settle their border dispute. Nehru also rejected as impractical Chou's suggestion that both sides withdraw their border forces at once for a distance of 12 1/2 miles from their present position...
