After five days of intense negotiations in New Delhi last week, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh signed an agreement resolving the last two major issues left over from the 1971 Indo-Pakistani war. The accord clears the way for normalization of diplomatic and economic relations among the three countries and for Bangladesh's membership in the United Nations, which until now has been vetoed by China at Pakistan's behest...
...Western World and The Plough and the Stars, or even the riots after the first word ("merdre") of Jarry's Ubu Roi. Theater when it's working well, he was saying, is meant to be somewhat jarring and disturbing. But this spring's Harvard drama season is in total accord with the national attitude of escape and be merry. It is a whole feast for complacency.

...publication of the accord was approved by both Pope Paul VI and the Archbishop of Canterbury. But the commission's Anglican and Roman Catholic chairmen were careful to point out that the document was only "an agreed statement of the commission and nothing more." Any action to increase ecumenical exchange between Anglicans and Catholics will have to come from the hierarchies of the two communions. Moreover, there is still a major stumbling block: the Roman Catholic doctrine of the infallibility and primacy of the Pope...
