...self-proclaimed dreamer and devout Buddhist, U Nu turned in a remarkable job as a man of action. Starting off with a shaky combat force of only 12,000 men, his government in eight years of intermittent fighting has succeeded in reducing to dispersed guerrillaism five major rebellious factions, including two varieties of Communists (White Flag Communists and Red Flag Trotskyites).

They sat in a "cave"-a vast jumble of rough boulders on the outside, and a blue, gold and scarlet auditorium within (capacity: 15,000), which was built by Burma's devout Premier U Nu to house the Sixth Buddhist World Council (TIME, June 7, 1954).
