...must first be wrung out in terms of politics. This was the process, with all of its charges and countercharges, conspiracies and compromises, that was at work last week as the U.S. attempted to wring out a workable policy for the Middle East. It was at work as U.S., Canadian and Indian delegates huddled and haggled on a new approach to Israel v. the Arabs in the gleaming corridors of the United Nations; it was at work as Democratic Senators contested the Eisenhower doctrine and tried to bring down the Republican Secretary of State; it was even at work when...
Menon's pettishness did nothing to help India's case. "People here," said a Canadian delegate, "are not so much pro-Pakistan or pro-India as they are anti-Menon. Every time he opens his mouth, people want to vote against him." In the roll call that followed Menon's speech, this desire was freely indulged.

When President Samuel Bronfman of Distillers Corp.-Seagrams started to look for a man to boss the Canadian company's U.S. subsidiary, Joseph E.

Edgar's brother Charles Bronfman, 25, stays in Canada as vice president of another subsidiary...

For his actual map-making, he uses aerial photographs, large collections of which are available both in this country and abroad. He particularly likes those taken with a trimetrogon camera--really three cameras in one. They are mounted so that one camera takes a picture straight downward, while the two others take pictures obliquely left and right from horizon to horizon with a small overlap...
...bottle of champagne. That is how the question stood. Legislators were batting new names around, and Homer Ludwick had hope in his heart. Perhaps they would drop "North," and call it "Dakota." Or maybe "Miami," someone suggested, or "Dixie," or "East Guadalajara," or, with a nod to their Canadian neighbor, "South Manitoba." Maybe even "Welk...
