...such thing as an Afro-Asian bloc with clear loyalties or affiliations to either East or West. In this situation, the West can accomplish a great deal with patient buttonholing, explaining, cajoling and bargaining-as was shown again last week when Cuba's delegate sought to brand the U.S. with harboring "new plans of aggression" against the Castro regime.

His rice cooker, which automatically turns out a perfect batch of rice every time, has freed Japanese women from the need to get up an hour earlier than their husbands - and from the terrible mother-in-law's verdict, "She can't even cook rice," which once was enough to send a Japanese bride back to her parents in disgrace.
