When the 16th U.N. General Assembly convenes this autumn, an immediate problem will be one that has popped up every year since 1950: whether to admit Red China to membership or, indeed, whether to even debate the question. The U.S. has successfully led opposition to either move -but support has been shifting away from the U.S. position in recent years.

General Assembly session in September that Khrushchev first broached the troika idea, demanding that the U.N. Secretariat be run not by one man, but by a team...
...frugality, chastity; moderation and temperance, and those other virtues which are the ornament of human society, and the basis upon which the republican Constitution is structured; and it shall be duty of such instructors, to endeavour to lead those under their care (as their ages and capacities will admit) into a particular understanding of the tendency of the beforementioned virtues, to preserve and perfect a republican Constitution, and to secure the blessings of liberty, as well as to promote their future happiness; and the tendency of the opposite vices to slavery and ruin...
