While Western diplomats and editorialists continued to discuss terms by which Russia might be persuaded to unify Germany, all signs indicated that Khrushchev has no intention of giving up control of his half. Communist economic blueprints under the new seven-year plan point plainly to East Germany's assigned role as the industrial heart of the satellite bloc...
...ambitious projects to be set up with Soviet Russian aid, only one-a sugar factory-is beyond the planning stage. Banda's smiles are currently lavished on the U.S. aid missions, which since 1956 have spent $36 million on a variety of Ceylon's problems, from malaria control to extending the runways at Colombo airport. More than 1,600,000 schoolchildren get a daily glass of milk and a bun from U.S. surplus foods. Even glowering, anti-American Food Minister Gunawardena works closely with U.S. people on agricultural and irrigation projects...

...Brash Kid." The eldest son of a Russian immigrant factory worker, Sam Newhouse got his first chance at turning a profit from publishing as a 16-year-old clerk for a New York judge. When the judge got control of the floundering Bayonne (N.J.) Times, he gave Newhouse a try at running the show. Within a year Newhouse had whipped the Times into the black ("I guess I was a pretty brash kid"). In 1922 he drummed up $98,000 and bought the Staten Island Advance...
