...Bitterest of the Republican defeats was Michigan, where articulate Michigan State Professor Paul Bagwell (TIME cover, Oct. 24) made his second try at ending twelve years of labor-dominated Democratic rule. Across his state. Bagwell did better than Dick Nixon-but not well enough to overcome the Wayne County (Detroit) lead of U.A.W.-backed Lieutenant Governor John Swainson, a personable and legless war veteran, who ardently defended the record of outgoing Governor G. Mennen Williams...
Stroll in the Garden. In Pakistan the Indus agreement and the presence of Nehru renewed hopes that progress might now be made on the bitterest dispute of all: Kashmir, where since 1949 Indian and Pakistan armies have faced each other across a U.N.-drawn crossfire line. The treaty signing over, Pakistan's President Mohammed Ayub Khan took his guest to the summer lodge at Murree, overlooking Rudyard Kipling's storied mountain city of Rawalpindi.

...National Labor Relations Board handed down a historic ruling last week in the longest-and one of the bitterest-major strikes in U.S. labor history.

When Gaitskell recalled some of Nye's fierce sallies, including the attack on Churchill when he cried that he welcomed the "opportunity of picking the bloated bladder of lies with the poniard of truth," Churchill gave a fleeting smile of remembrance and made a gracious bow toward the speaker...
Political Potpourri. Out of this tribal nightmare must come a national cabinet, a prime minister and a chief of state in time for independence day on June 30; but bloody tribal fighting has raged for months through the Congo. Bitterest of all was in the land of the Lulua. Since the 19th century, when Arab slave raiders drove the frightened Baluba westward into Lulua territory, the Baluba had happily tilled Lulua soil in semi-serfdom in exchange for the right to remain in the area. Then last year, when whispers of Congolese independence filtered out from Leopoldville, the Baluba began...
