...World Fellowship of Buddhists. Begun in 1950 as a kind of informal, monk-to-monk faith forum, this year's meeting often sounded more like a U.N. debate. Russia's Venerable Lama Jambal Dirji Gomboeve?representing 500,000 Soviet Buddhists living mostly in Asiatic Russia?urged the conference to "condemn provocations against the borders of Viet Nam, Cambodia and Laos."

After a shocked pause, surging, howling, gesticulating M.P.s from both sides of the House silenced Wilson for 15 tumultuous minutes. Never before had a new Prime Minister stirred such hostility in the Commons. Amid shouts of "Shame!" and "Disgraceful!" 25 Opposition...
