...vulgar." But even the press last week was offering some comfort to Nehru. A volume titled A Study of Nehru, published by the Times of India, is a birthday compilation of 62 opinions-mostly laudatory-by such authorities as President Tito of Yugoslavia, Eleanor Roosevelt, Lord Mountbatten, Adlai Stevenson, Bertrand Russell and Soviet Journalist Ilya Ehrenburg...
...scientists chided for any signs of backsliding from faithlessness. (One author accuses leftish U.S. Astronomer Harlow Shapley of attempting to reconcile God and the expanding universe, advises him: "Your hopes are vain, Professor Shapley!") The magazine's lead article is by Britain's spry old Philosopher-Mathematician Bertrand Russell, 87, who asks: "Has religion made a useful contribution to civilization?"

Before the boy winds up in the pen, the judge asks: "Is it Mademoiselle Sagan who has put all these ideas in your head?" Answers the accused: "I don't want...
...Liabilities. In Brussels. Socialist and Communi&t Deputies made a tumultuous attack on the coalition Catholic-Liberal government. Cried one: "You not only condemn to death the 18,000 Borinage miners but the entire region-its shopkeepers, all other industries, everyone who is dependent on them." Catholic Deputy Fred-Bertrand, a former miner, shouted in reply: "Do you think you'll attract foreign companies and new investment by creating this revolution?" A government minister promised "replacement jobs" for the miners but was hooted down when unable to give any details. Premier Gaston Eyskens refused to consider nationalizing the mines...
