...down. But last week a U.S. scientific delegation sat down peaceably with a Russian scientific delegation in Geneva to discuss the feasibility of nuclear test inspection systems (see FOREIGN NEWS). Secretary of State John Foster Dulles had ringed the meeting with the warning that the results would not bind the U.S. on any next steps, but the mere fact of the session was important evidence of an important new influence at work in the U.S. Government...
...Joseph lay on his bed, listening to jazz records on his rusty phonograph and sweating his youth away in voluptuous fantasies of the city, where he would "be myself, be free, be cruel and be rich." But whenever he threatened to break out of the web, his mother would bind him tight again with a pernicious tissue of threats. "The day you leave here," she would sob self-pityingly, "I'm going to die!" As for Suzanne, she cleaned up the worms that fell from the diseased roof into the beds, into the food, and sat staring down...
...signaled the wedding is out (gongs are sounded at Japanese funerals). Cio-Cio-San no longer punches holes in the shoji (paper screen) walls of the house to watch for Pinkerton's return-for the good reason that a shoji slides open.

Once Nehru found use for the Lion. Then the Sheik was Nehru's honored comrade in the fight against the British, and the powerful leader who could bind largely Moslem Kashmir to the new Indian nation in 1947. Abdullah became the state of Kashmir's first Premier and symbolized the ability of Moslems and Hindus to believe in one another. But as Jawaharlal Nehru, in his hardening determination to hold strategic Kashmir for India, brushed off even U.N. demands for the Kashmir plebiscite he had promised in 1947, Abdullah began talking of making his state independent...
