...Prime Minister's inconsistency on the Communist question. Nehru interrupted. "I am not prepared to be anti-this or anti-that," he cried angrily. "I may be soft to some, hard to others at times, but I dislike being pushed about or bullied . . . Some on the Anglo-American side call me a Communist, while some on the other side call me an imperialist . . . People ask me: 'Are you this or are you that?' But I say: 'This is where I intend to be.

...Opus in Pastels, Artistry Jumps. Every once in a while he gave them a breather: blonde June Christy came onstage and cooed Get Happy, Lonesome Road and I'll Remember April. Most of the time it was a bewildering battle between the violins, violas and cellos on one side and the bursting brasses on the other. Kenton himself admitted that there was room for improvement.

These would make more of the uranium react, thus stepping up the efficiency of the core's explosion...

Something Doing. Ransom came to Bethel Church in New York's Harlem in 1907, and shocked fellow ministers by opening a mission in a store-front "flanked on one side by a notorious gambling joint and on the other by one of the biggest sporting houses in New York. I'm told it housed as many as 60 girls." He came to be a respected friend to both girls and gamblers; sometimes dead-broke streetwalkers "timidly would . . . ask: 'Will you lend me a dollar, Reverend?' And I always would." Once, he remembers, a prostitute...
