Fidel Castro could have pretended to ignore the anti-Cuban resolution written in Costa Rica by OAS diplomats, because it did not specify Cuba by name. Instead he chose to strike his favorite defiant, heroic pose and staged a whirlwind week of speeches, each more frenzied and more sinister than the last. The climax was a massive demagogic stunt: an invitation to all Cubans (who have no representative government) to take part in a "People's Assembly" in Havana's Civic Plaza, where, in the style of the French revolutionary terror, they could roar approval of proposed...
Beer, tea-and coffeehouses loud with the sounds of Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie and Gerry Mulligan are sprouting like rice shoots in Japan's major cities. But Mama, Carrousel, Swing, or Fujiya Music Salon are nothing like Manhattan's Metropole or Birdland. Instead of the usual clutter of tables and clatter of highballs, Japan's hipsters sit in desklike seats set in rows of two, railroad-style, sipping their drinks in scholarly contemplation and rarely speaking, as jazz, either recorded or live, engulfs them in smoky parlors. Girls in the crowd affect tight toreador pants; the boys...
...took over as general news manager of United Press, which had been formed by Scripps from three other news-gathering services. In less than five years, Howard was U.P.'s president.

In no time at all they became more determinedly "different"-but in the process lost much of the idealistic Scripps zeal...
Irrational Individualism. The commonest mistake about the Holy Ghost, writes Canon Dewar, is to say "it" instead of "He." The gift of the Holy Spirit is "not the bestowal of a thing but the action of a person." The classic description of the Holy Spirit appears in the Gospel of John, where Jesus is quoted as promising to send the disciples "the Paraclete"-a Greek word variously translated as "comforter," "advocate," or "counselor"-to remind them of Jesus' teaching and to guide them to truth. At Pentecost, the 50th day after the Resurrection, the Holy Spirit descended upon...
Some 60% of all mergers are, like Consolidated's, still within the same basic industry. But there is a growing trend toward going outside, buying new products, or new management or scientific brains, by taking over small companies. Instead of starting from scratch to set up a new computer division, for example, Remington Rand bought up two electronics firms, one of which brought along the already proven Univac
