...candidates who crisscrossed North Carolina from the Tennessee border to the Atlantic in pursuit of the Democratic nomination for Governor were at opposite poles on the issue of race relations. Stocky former State Senator Terry Sanford, 42, had led a field of four in the first primary last month by soft-pedaling his own segregationist sympathies, pushing instead an ambitious program of building schools and luring industry. His runoff opponent, Dr. I. (for Isaac) Beverly Lake, 53, ex-professor of law at Wake Forest College, fired up rebel-yelling segregationist rallies by damning North Carolina's token school integration...
Friendship's End. As if to dramatize the jurists' measured account, last week a new spate of refugees poured across the border into India. Among the latecomers was one Thondup Lowazang, 27, who until a few weeks ago had been deputy commander of 100 Chinese troops in the Shigatse area. A longtime Communist even before the Chinese marched in, Thondup had been happy to show the Chinese how to handle his own people until he saw the village of Kimrimchogor, once home to 700 families, reduced by bombing and firing squad to 20 individuals because it was suspected...
...find historic precedent for Texas' claim, the court dug back to the Congress-approved treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican War in 1848 and extended the Mexico-Texas border three leagues into the Gulf.* Florida was also entitled to three leagues because it claimed that boundary in its post-Civil War constitution, rammed through by a carpetbagger and scalawag-packed state constitutional convention and approved by Congress in 1868. Because Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama made considerably less extravagant claims back in the 1860s, they got considerably less from the Supreme Court...
...savage suppression of last year's Tibetan revolt, flight was the order of the day. More than 18,000 Tibetan refugees, including the Dalai Lama, poured into India alone. Last week, from the tiny (18,000 sq. mi.) buffer state of Bhutan on Tibet's southern border, came reports that the mood in Tibet has changed dramatically. Far fewer Tibetans now seek to escape. Instead, they stand and fight...
...border lines of sectarian prerogatives are patrolled more carefully than most international frontiers. Before Easter, for instance, the Roman Catholics, who claim the privilege of cleaning the outside of the windows, make a demonstration of standing by and watching while the Greek Orthodox-who also claim the privilege-actually do the cleaning. The Armenian Apostolic Church still claims the Chapel of Nicodemus, now used by the Syrian Orthodox, though the Armenians declare they have the keys. At least three violent incidents have resulted-once over the repairing of one of the doors, once over the possession of a closet, once...
