...Delhi's Palam Airport this week 25-pounders blasted out a 31-gun salute. Into the blazing heat stepped Viscount Mountbatten of Burma, cool and stiff in his starched, white Rear Admiral's uniform.

It offered a huge (39-page) and handsome Mexican takeout, a cool appraisal of Atlantic City, an engaging Swiss essay, written and illustrated by Ludwig Bemelmans.
