Nehru is often embarrassed by the clamorous support Communists give him while they attack the Congress Party. But this time even Nehru touched on the sympathy Indian Communists have shown for Red Chinese violations of India's borders.

It seems that lightweight Novelist Barbara (Love Is the Enemy) Cartland had visited the exclusive Mayfair beauty salon of Mrs. Elizabeth Forsythe, who also enjoys the Queen's custom. Barbara told a group of housewives "in confidence" (during a lecture entitled "You Can Be Beautiful") what Mrs. Forsythe had told her: "The Queen is having a special facial just before her new baby is born, and will have one directly afterwards." It took all of 24 hours for this tiding to saturate London...
