...better appraisal of the new, much-touted, multi-party government can be given than in the extreme reluctance of the minority interests to enter it. The Kuomintang negotiated for months to bring in the haggling splinter groups. Even after trading had supposedly finished, the small parties were evidently none too happy about their lift to power. Two members of the Social Democrats dropped out of the slate after they had been officially nominated to the supposedly all-powerful State Council...
...lasting peace and prosperity, the frank, business-like atmosphere suggests that many of the very basic cleavages in attitudes may be reconciled. While the conferences deal with both a long-range issue (a charter for the proposed International Trade Organization) and a more immediate problem (the writing of new multi-lateral trade agreements), the same conflicting philosophics hamper both tasks. Fortunately America, upon whom the success of the sessions and the ultimate fortunes of the ITO and world trade rests, seems, at last, to have accepted its responsibilities...
...Morison reminds readers, no neat and compact affair. It was a mammoth multi-pronged attack, with the flanks about 900 miles apart.

Ultimate success depended not only on the luck and timing of all three strikes, but upon what happened when Montgomery suddenly turned on Rommel at El Alamein. Montgomery needed tanks before he could turn. Stripping its own armored divisions, the U.S. had sent him 400 General Shermans...

If the Western statesmen don't understand that the world cannot remain half slave and half free, the Russians do, and they are engaged in the most extensive propaganda effort since the Comintern was founded to make the one world their world. The weakness and injustices of our democracy provide them with excellent material for propaganda...
...rebirth as a skiing center. Colorado's Governor Lee Knous gave Edith Robinson, daughter of Aspenjs mayor, a push off to open the is,000-ft. ski tow, longest in the world (see cut). With six 14,000-foot peaks near by, plenty of dry, powdery snow, and multi-million-dollar backing, Aspen was out to become the top winter-sport playground...
