Main points: 1) in the East, China will give up its occupation of the Longju outpost, six miles inside the Indian frontier, if India will evacuate ten other passes and strongpoints along the border; 2) in the Western or Kashmir region, China claims to have been in occupation of large areas of Ladakh not for just two years but since 1950, and with the help of frontier-guard units and "3,000 civilian builders" to have laid big roads, "cutting across high mountains, throwing bridges and building culverts" without India's knowledge, thus making "absolutely unconvincing" India...
...These accusations are all true," said the man called Durieux. "The Red Hand is proud to claim them. But we do not exult in murder. Our big regret is that innocent people have sometimes been victims of our counteractivity. But terrorism begets terrorism. The moment the Algerian rebels lay down their arms in complete surrender, the Red Hand will no longer need to exist...
...AromaRama process itself, developed by a public relations executive named Charles Weiss, is fairly ingenious. The film carries a "scent track" that transmits cues to an electronic "trigger" that fires a salvo of scent into the theater through the air-conditioning ports.

Each, of course, controls a significant block of votes, but Kennedy cannot use his greatest bargaining deal--votes in exchange for an endorsement for vice-President. A Catholic running mate for Kennedy, of course, would be out of the question...
Although the Freedom School supports the elimination of government, its followers claim not to be anarchists, who embody socialism, but "nonarchists." In economics, they support a simple Smithian philosophy of laissez faire. Labor unions, they feel, should be broken up because of their coercive habits; in the ideal world, such organizations would not be necessary. The Freedom School opposes foreign aid, another form of government coercion, and would revert to the legal system of the Biblical Samuels, in which individuals rule on cases and decisions are not followed unless both parties agree...
