Esthetic Antipathy. At any rate, the ruckus over Miller's boycott pointed up a paradox that endlessly puzzles the President. He has persuaded Congress to pass a mind-numbing total of bills promoting causes dear to intellectuals. He has assiduously courted the cerebral community and has shown almost childlike gratitude when it responds to his wooing-as when he gave Merrick a souvenir pen and thanked him for his rebuke to Miller. But for all that, much of the intellectual world still regards him with hostility and even scorn...
...Dodgson drawings, though worlds away from the expert expressiveness of the famous illustrations by Tenniel, have a charm all their own. They summon an image of dear Dodgson as he sat back, pen in hand and collar askew, to beam at this lucky squiggle or that eager splodge and imagine how Alice would soon stare at it with huge believing eyes.

They swear she's still fascinating. Maybe...
...there was still no progress on the Kashmir problem. Though dear to the hearts of all Pakistanis, it was a crashing bore to the U.N. and the world. Even worse, India was moving fast to end the fiction that there was even anything left to discuss. Nehru had announced in 1954 that Kashmir was an integral part of India but had done nothing to implement his words. Prime Minister Shastri was saying less but doing more. Early this year, he quietly let it be known that Indian civil servants would take over the state administration of Kashmir. To Pakistanis, this...
