The Council's decisive action on Korea was possible only because the Russians had walked out of U.N. (TIME, Jan. 23 et seq.). Last week the U.S. gave its support to an old suggestion: shift some of the responsibility for the world's peace from the veto-bound Council to the veto-free Assembly.

...rather horrid night and three hours of North Korean banzai charges. The driver proceeded along the road to Inchon very carefully. One of us remarked how pleasant it was to be riding with a careful driver after the numerous 'army cowboys' we had traveled with the past few weeks." Then the jeep entered a thick cloud of dust and the next thing Bell knew he was lying on the road and hearing a Navy corpsman say, "This guy is pretty bad." Whether the jeep had hit a mine or collided with an oncoming amtrac, no one knew. Bell...
