Next day the Senate waxed a bit more germane. Georgia Democrat Richard Russell, an opponent of the resolution, pointed out that the rule could easily be sidestepped. If the Senate was debating an atomic energy bill, Russell suggested, and a Senator wanted to talk about cheese made from cow's milk, "all he would have to do would be to offer an amendment providing that 'nothing in this bill shall be construed to affect the price of cheese in Borneo.' " Agreed Pastore: "No matter what rule or law is passed or invented by the ingenuity...
Spreading Infection. Calcutta's explosive social conditions had already brought relations between the city's Hindu majority and its 1,000,000 Moslems to the boiling point. Tens of thousands sleep on the streets or in abandoned sewer pipes and gutters are clogged with garbage, cow dung and human excrement; the water is polluted, epidemics frequent, poverty rampant, and unemployment endemic. In this morass of 6,500,000 people, the Hindu refugees' Moslem-atrocity stories spread like an infection. Inevitably, Calcutta's Hindus retaliated...
There is seaminess as well as glitter in Bombay. Air India's Boeing jets coming into Santa Cruz airport swoop low over miserable mud and bamboo huts, where the air is fetid with the stomach churning odors of cow dung, urine and rotting humanity.

One of every 66 Bombay residents has no home at all-except for the dark undersides of staircases...
...this may have been type casting's finest hour, for 51-year-old Hugh Griffith is a laughing, brawling, roistering Welshman who lives on 13 acres in Warwickshire, where he and his wife raise dogs, hay, a cow and donkeys. For lunch he munches double brandies, and when he does a drunk scene-as in his new movie, The Bargee, in which he plays a lock tender on a canal-he warms up with bolt after bolt of black velvet (champagne and stout). "Did they think I could fake it with bloody tea?" he asks. Almost by obvious right...
Prurient Hindquarters. At least three-fourths of all actors started as the rear half of a stage cow, but Griffith is the only one who still complains that the front half "stank to high heaven." Also, he brought new dimensions to the role by continually rubbing the cow's hindquarters pruriently against the scenery. He was ultimately trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and he has been in demand ever since, interrupted only by World War II, when he was stationed in Swansea town and became a close drinking friend of Dylan Thomas...
