Sixty-Two Cheers. Any sign by Nehru that he was determined to resist Chinese encroachment would obviously find his people behind him. In fact, some were well ahead of him. Last week a crowd of 300 university students paraded to Nehru's home demanding the dismissal of unpopular Defense Minister V. K. Krishna Menon because of his "brazenfaced defense of Chinese aggression in Tibet." Menon, who has been in New York attending the U.N. General Assembly, flew home at week's end to give his counsel to Nehru...

In such cases the Navy could consult the computer to find out which of a score or more shortcuts around the obstacle was the best...
...Questions. Behind the experts that devised PERT lies 45 years of Booz, Allen & Hamilton experience in counseling more than 2,000 U.S. firms in management problems-getting the right outside man to become president of a slipping company, improving the flow of executive information, revising an outdated product line, amicably easing out executive deadwood. The firm was founded by the late Edwin Booz, a Reading (Pa.) ironmonger's son who studied economics and applied psychology at Northwestern University while serving as an Evanston night cop. At the time, efficiency experts were entranced with time-motion studies...
