...Russia and Yugoslavia, it was Tito's turn to poison Rakosi's cup. In a speech at Karlovac, he sharply reminded the Russians that Hungary was being noticeably slow about getting on the new friendship train. Said Tito: "These are people lacking in the Communist courage to admit their past mistakes towards our country. For years they have been scared of Stalin and therefore they imagine they must not speak up even now. They are still jailing people who favor friendship with Yugoslavia...
Bowl to Pot. Though it may vary somewhat from city to city, the method now used in most schools is a combination of systems. The educators admit that word recognitlon has its dangers. It is quite possible, as one Louisville mother reported of her son, for a third grader to type out b-o-w-l and call it pot, or for a pupil to develop the annoying habit of putting the President in the White Horse or assembling stamp collisions.

Last month the Little Lion ordered all Congolese bars to admit Africans so long as they behave well and are properly dressed. When some owners refused to admit Negroes unless they first submitted to a medical checkup, Pétillon bluntly warned them to obey his decree...
...West had forced Russia to admit that it had no intention of unifying Germany in the foreseeable future. But what fascinated Europe more was that the President of the U.S. had declared simply that he was a man of peace and the Premier of Russia as simply had said, "We believe you." Almost as fascinating was the spectacle of Eisenhower breaking through the cold mechanics of diplomacy to speak directly to an old friend of the opposite camp. Cried Geneva's La Suisse: "Eisenhower's remarks to the Soviet marshals do not furnish the slightest basis...
