...SATELLITES. He proclaimed the right of each national Communist Party to self-determination, but he let this concept go too far, losing control and causing disarray in the Eastern alliance. Rumania, for instance, would not play ball with Russia's self-serving Comecon (common market); and Hungary, which Khrushchev brutally suppressed during the 1956 rebellion, became daring enough to allow scornful "political cabaret" acts to have free reign. All this illustrated the dictator's classic problem: once he loosens his grip, it is hard to know where, when, or if things will stop...
...FAILURE OF DEFINITION: One of the central problems facing the Doty Committee when it was formed two years ago was the need to redefine a program of General Education that had fallen into increasing disarray since it had been proposed in 1945. In a college which views a liberal arts education as two-pronged, general and departmental, it was clearly the role of the college (through the Committee on General Education) to give students an antidote for the pressures of narrow specialization and premature professionalism.

He listened impassively to the attacks of the opposition, one of whom defined Shastri's policy as "inefficiency at home and infirmity abroad." Even in his own Congress Party in Delhi there was a certain disarray, and Shastri spent much of last week patching up minor dissensions...
Waterloo. Dick Nixon's miserably managed campaign and subsequent defeat added the imperative to Barry's call. The national G.O.P. organization was left in total disarray, and no one seemed interested in repairing it. No one, that is, except Goldwater's conservative enthusiasts. They went to work with a will, gradually taking over county and town committees, grooming their own local candidates, and tirelessly plugging Barry...
