Insults & Invitations. Although it bills itself as nonpolitical, the Colombo club has strengthened some anti-Communist positions, but its ranks abound with "neutralists" and leftward-drifters. Indonesia, which stubbornly fights the new Federation of Malaysia, a Colombo partner, on the ground that it is a front for British "neocolonialism," used the Bangkok conference to snap insults at the new state. Cambodia's petulant, neutralist Prince Norodom Sihanouk boycotted the conference because of his antagonism to the host country, strongly anti-Communist Thailand; he also announced that he wanted no more U.S. aid, would kick out all U.S. military advisers...
...Hounds of Spring.

His writings abound in emotional traps that lure a reader along the path of natural human feeling only to jar him with some small monstrosity at the end. In Our Lady of the Flowers, for example, Divine's despair is so eloquently described that the reader is moved to the kind of sympathy one feels...
...upper stages of the moon rockets will burn liquid hydrogen, and the rocket manufacturers who work with the stuff claim that they will soon have it under control. But no hydrogen-burning engine has yet flown, and skeptics abound who believe that this tricky and touchy fuel will cause disastrous difficulties before it is tamed...
