...INDIA. One of the largest recipients of U.S. help ($5.2 billion in economic funds, plus a secret amount in military aid), India is so big that U.S. aid is none too obvious. But the community farm projects, new schools, roads and modern agricultural methods all owe some small debt...
...means that any further U.N. peace-keeping operations will depend on either voluntary contributions or the U.N. budget. But most of them have been financed by these methods anyway−Korea and Cyprus by donations, Kashmir and Palestine by the U.N. treasury. The Russians, who, according to U.S. figures, owe $62 million in back assessments, have hinted that they would make a voluntary contribution to the deficit-troubled U.N. budget−provided, of course, that no one says they have to do it under Article...
...freshmen have followed that advice-and, with the exception of seven Southern Congressmen who owe their allegiance elsewhere, their fidelity to the programs of their party leader, Lyndon Johnson, has established them as just about the solidest voting bloc in Congress. The 58 non-Southern-bloc freshman Democrats differ greatly. Oklahoma's Jed Johnson is 25, while Iowa's John Hansen is the oldest at 63.

After nearly 13 years in power, the Tories were visibly tired and the public seemed overwhelmingly ready for a switch to Labor. Sir Alec managed to rally...
...tribute to her husband on the occasion of his exit from Government service wittily expressed a major fact of life: the U.S. citizen as well as the U.S. Government is deeply in debt-and not only deeply but permanently. Increasingly, tycoons measure their millions as much by what they owe as by what they own. The federal budget shows a deficit of $3.8 billion for fiscal 1965, and Congress has just raised the debt ceiling from $324 to $328 billion. Personal debt, rising faster than the Government's, is above $264 billion; this year it will climb another...
