...learned to feed itself, it can then move slowly, sanely toward industrial self-sufficiency. It may take a bolder man than Shastri to carry such a program through. But somewhere among India's millions, among the young who hunger for education and get it, there will doubtless emerge a dynamic leader to rally the nation and lift its spirits-a man who perhaps combines Nehru's flamboyance and Shastri's humility. At that point, hope will return to a subcontinent...
...heard argument is that Ho should be left alone to reunify Viet Nam, since he would doubtless emerge as the Tito of Southeast Asia and hence become a man who could be dealt with reasonably by the West. This is wishful thinking. Ho does not have the 1,100 miles of buffer zone separating him from Red China that Tito had from Russia; nor has Peking's attitude toward North Viet Nam relaxed as Moscow's did toward Yugoslavia before the 1948 break. And when Tito broke clear, he had a unified nation under him, plus...

Shakespeare very likely cooked up this bit of woman-baiting to appeal to the myriad Elizabethan fans of bear-baiting. Only the S.P.C.A. came out ahead...

Already the nation's six northeastern provinces, whose population of 10 million is double that of Cambodia, are being probed by Communist terror and subversion. More than a dozen village officials have been assassinated; Communist arms, men and propaganda filter across the Mekong River from Red-infected Laos in ever-increasing volume. The Thai Communist Party has vowed to "drive the U.S. imperialists out and overthrow the traitorous, fascist and dictatorial Bangkok government." Fortunately, the Bangkok...
After such flounderings he is always glad to return to safe ground, to his "lesson," a petty combination of pedantry and sadism, punctuated by grotesque poetry such as that of his discourses on phonetics. Ionesco forces us to see the professor and his lesson as the pupil herself doubtless sees them, uncomprehending. The ridicule is so successful that the girl's inability--and unwillingness--to think emerge as virtues by comparison...
