Think, Think, Think. All these are components of a ritual that has been called "the one continuous act of cerebration" in journalism. "Today and Tomorrow" runs in the Oslo Morgenbladet, the Calcutta Hindustan Standard, the Tokyo Yomiuri Shimbun, the Fayetteville Northwest Arkansas Times and some 270 other papers in the U.S. and abroad, with a combined multilingual circulation estimated at 20 million. Lippmann's pronouncements on foreign policy are weighed with gravity, awe, annoyance, respect, and sometimes envy, by editors, pedagogues, logicians and statesmen, if not by the average reader...
Pother Panchali (Edward Harrison). One day in 1952, a 31-year-old commercial artist in Calcutta went down to the pawnshop with his wife's jewels. Then he rented an ancient Wall camera, and on the first fine Sunday after that, he rounded up a few actor friends, piled them into a taxi, and headed upcountry to a picturesque village he knew. There and thereabouts, heedless of the fact that he had never shot a foot of film in his life, Satyajit Ray (pronounced Sawt-yaw-jit Rye) plugged away at his movie project whenever...

The voters last month approved the city's plan to make over to the Dodgers 169 acres of city-owned land in the Ravine so the Dodgers could build a stadium and parking lot there. But last...
...cargo ships will be able to steam-with at least a few inches of water under their keels-into any port along the Great Lakes' 8.300-mile shore line. Cities in the great Midwest of the U.S. will become ocean-going ports. Chicago will be linked to Calcutta, Duluth to Antwerp, Toronto to Brisbane. Detroit's Chrysler Corp. will be able to ship a Plymouth sedan to Oslo for $45 less than the cost of the rail-ocean haul through New York. Wheat will move from Fort William, Ont. to Rotterdam at a saving...
...brought famine. In Rajasthan state last week men, their crops parched and their cattle killed, were eating slugs, dried grass and flowers. In Bihar 90% of the wells had dried up; rioting broke out among villagers who camped all night at the few wells that still gave water. In Calcutta (top temperature 111°F., the highest since 1924) half the railwaymen refused to work in the heat, created such chaos with train schedules that mobs smashed the offices of stationmasters in protest...
