...Maldives, whose 95,000 Moslems mostly fish. Although the British had held them as a protectorate since 1887, the islands had always governed themselves, and the British had never even sent an administrator to their capital at Male. Britain's only responsibilities, in fact, were the conduct of Maldivian foreign affairs (nonexistent) and defense (unnecessary). Its only interest was the R.A.F. runway on the island of Gan, which it will retain as a steppingstone to Southeast Asia...

The highlight was Johann Sebastian Bach's Suite No. 4 in D Major...
...religious organizations, and the Brazilian Methodists are facing the threat of a schism. In Argentina and Ecuador, however, a number of Protestant churches have begun to explore the possibility of merger. Some Protestants fear also that their churches may be concentrating too exclusively on the minutiae of personal conduct; Brazilian Baptists, for example, had 10,000 converts last year but threw out 4,000 members for such sins as smoking and drinking. Protestantism thus may be missing the social implications in the message of Christ, who came, says Thomas J. Liggett, head of the Evangelical Seminary of Puerto Rico...
