...NATO's Continental members, France is the only one that has refused Norstad authority to send its planes into immediate action in event of a Soviet attack, the only one that has refused to hook into the Europe-wide air-warning-and-command net that NATO hopes to finish building by 1961. (Given the small size of Western Europe-Paris lies only 350 miles from the Communist frontier of East Germany-this is roughly like refusing to agree to coordinated air defense of Chicago and Minneapolis...
...farmers growled that the Communists' planning had been all wet. Somehow or other, so much of Poland's livestock had been shipped to market last season that the country was fresh out of meat. Such belated measures as rationing meat and importing 20,000 tons of Soviet beef had not ended the meat shortage (TIME, Oct. 12), and last week, as the crisis got worse, Communist Boss Wladyslaw Gomulka and his ministers were trying every desperate trick. They convicted 101 official state slaughterers of black-marketing in the Warsaw area, arrested 88 "meat speculators" at Lodz. More ominously...
Last week two Soviet ships, Tobolsk and Krilyon, steamed into Japan's Niigata harbor to pick up the first load of 975 repatriates, who had marched to the embarkation center waving red flags and singing The Song of Kim II Sung.

And there are homemade Nativities like the tiny Krippe (crib) found two years ago by a traveler in the Soviet Zone of Germany-a worn and tired-looking peasant Virgin watched by a tattered Joseph and two miners in blue overalls...
...serve all the many millions around the rapidly developing world depends on whether the businessman competes to the fullest of his impressive abilities. One of the great debates of 1959 that is bound to continue on into the 19605 is the economic competition between the U.S. and Soviet Russia. In the statistical numbers game, the experts point in alarm to the fact that Russia has grown to rank as the world's second greatest economic power in the space of 30 years. They cite a Russian annual-growth rate twice as fast as that of the U.S., a Russian...
