People generally mean by propaganda that which influences others but not themselves. Constant emphasis on propaganda thus carries the prideful risk of regarding other people as more gullible than oneself. This little lesson came home to roost last week. For two weeks the U.S. Government had been living uneasily with the prospect that the U.S.S.R. would announce unilateral suspension of nuclear weapons tests. Last week, when Russia did, even Secretary of State John Foster Dulles conceded that Russia had scored "a certain propaganda victory, or at least, a success...
Until Pakistan solves her burgeoning internal problems, the sense of vassalage will probably remain. Since the constant fear of India forces Pakistan-in spite of U.S. military aid-to channel 70% of its budget into defense, little is left for development programs. Floods heavily cut the supply of wheat and rice in the past two years. Cotton is one of Pakistan's major exports, but because of the world glut, sales are down 40%.

He lashed out at the Baghdad Pact, accused the Premier of being pro-American, pro-British, and pro-imperialist. While carefully ignoring Nasser's blatant maneuvers to take over the Sudan and his newly asserted claim on more than...
Nevertheless, a constant feeling of limitation and constraint hampers the orchestra and prevents the musical quality of their playing from attaining to the standard of their technique. Such a defect becomes particularly evident in a concert devoted to works like the "Eroica" Symphony, the G-Major Piano Concerto, and the "Egmont" Overture--works offering possibilities in interpretation and depth that are conspicuously avoided...
