Most of the older Congressmen* ritualistically wear the diaperlike dhoti and white Gandhi cap to identify themselves with the dead hero. The party has a few first-rate men, but Congress politicians generally are unsophisticated, unlearned and uninspiring nonentities. After 15 years of Congress rule, the party is shot through with corruption, inefficiency and favoritism. The major problems that existed at the time of Gandhi's death are still to be solved. India's economy is a schizophrenic mixture of state and private enterprise. Religious fanaticism and factionalism remain strong, despite earnest efforts to overcome them. Poverty...
...Caps and Sweaters. One domestic issue that does arouse interest-and controversy-is the Kennedy Administration's drive for liberalized foreign trade. But many Congressmen remain undecided about which way the wind blows, and are waiting before taking stands. One thing they agree on: foreign trade is going to raise a real ruckus. Observes Massachusetts' Republican Representative Brad Morse: "The concern isn't from industry; it's from the fellow who wears a cap and sweater to work. He just sees in any expansion of foreign trade a jeopardy to his own employment." Adds Detroit...
...Storting (Parliament). But it was when Luthuli rose in the great hall of Oslo University to make his acceptance speech, and at a dinner the next evening, that he lifted the occasion far above mere warmth or politics.

After the fire is out comes the tricky business of putting a cap on the escaping gas. With powerful winches pulling against the relentless pressure of the gas, Adair will force a 15-ton control head over the well. The head divides the gas flow like a garden sprinkler so that it can be controlled but not shut off. Meanwhile, slanting lateral wells will be drilled to the base of the mile-deep GT2, and through them specially compounded oil drillers' "mud''* will be forced into the main boring until enough weight builds up in the shaft...
Millionaire Pasta King Giovanni Buitoni finally had a feather in his cap that wasn't macaroni. Achieving the "fondest dream" of his 70 years, would-be Basso Profundo Buitoni hired Manhattan's Carnegie Hall and packed it with friends and employees from his Hackensack, N.J., headquarters to make a rafter-rattling concert debut. Belting out arias from Rigoletto and Ernani, the Italian-born industrialist brought the momentous evening to a wildly bravoed climax by joining Metropolitan Opera Star Licia Albanese in a duet from Don Giovanni and smothering her with kisses as a reward for "carrying...
