...Bertrand Russell, 90, turtlenecked civil insurgent, resigned as president on the grounds that he had other things to do-things like writing a book about the peacemaker's role he believes he played in the Cuban and Sino-Indian crises, and keeping up his pen-palship with Khrushchev, Chou En-lai and Castro. Then Actress Vanessa Redgrave, 25, sidewalk-sitting daughter of Sir Michael Redgrave, resigned by mail. A Committee of One Hundred spokesman refused to talk about Vanessa's reason for bombing the bans: "I cannot say anything more than that it was a short letter...
...China last week, Ceylon's visiting Prime Minister, Mrs. Sirimavo Bandaranaike, sniffed incense, was wined and dined by Premier Chou Enlai, and was even taken to see a relic of Buddha's tooth. Reason for the indulgent treatment was the set of proposals that Mrs. Bandaranaike brought to Peking as spokesman for the six nonaligned nations-Ghana, Egypt, Indonesia, Burma, Cambodia and Ceylon-who met in Colombo last month and took it upon themselves to arbitrate the bloody Himalayan border dispute between China and India.

At the farewell banquet for Tsedenbal, Premier Chou En-lai smoothly noted that Red China had now solved its border problems on the basis of "peaceful coexistence" with Burma, Nepal, Pakistan and Outer Mongolia, making the point that only two neighbors now remain with whom China has not made a border adjustment: India and the Soviet Union...
...much an achievement as his first. Reluctantly accredited by the State Department ("someone we feel cannot be objective") and enthusiastically accepted by the Peking government, Snow traveled 12,000 miles through New China, spent hours with Mao (the only American to interview him in ten years) and days with Chou Enlai. Just as time has not diminished Snow's zest for a story, neither have events darkened his view of Mao's China. Blue River. There is, of course, the matter of food shortage. But Snow argues that the famine of 1960 was vastly exaggerated by the Western...
