Your July 1 cover story, "The Temple Builder," provides a record and an insight to the thinking of our Supreme Court which every literate American should read. The court's recent decisions are terrifying. Did Khrushchev and Chou En-lai sit in on those historic decisions? If not, they were well represented (except for Tom Clark, who recognized the "clear and present danger...
Last week, in a kind of "State of the Union" speech to Red China's dummy Parliament, Premier Chou En-lai insisted that the Communists have achieved "basic victory in our socialist revolution"-partly by executing "16.8% of the counterrevolutionaries dealt with." Nonetheless, Chou went on, there were "remnants of counter-revolutionaries still trying to engage in wrecking activities."

...acre apiece-a painful contrast to free South Viet Nam, heavily U.S.-subsidized, where any peasant can get seven acres of fertile ground from the government for the asking.

...bore little resemblance to the popular image of the off-duty, semicomic, garrulous Khrushchev tippling his way through diplomatic receptions. This was Khrushchev during office hours, not only sober but sobering: a tough, shrewd, vigorous man with the air of confident command. In sharp contrast to China's Chou Enlai, who cautiously read his answers to selected written questions on See It Now (TIME, Jan. 7), Khrushchev played by U.S. ground rules, asked in advance only for what fields the questions would cover. Producer Ted Ayers replied so broadly that he left a free hand to his panel, Moderator...
