...independent, inch-slow progress along the road to agricultural socialism. "My conscience does not allow me to speak untruths and praise private farms," said Khrushchev. "The cooperative is the best form of organization of peasants' labor, the best form of organization of production. But one must not drive a man to a better life with a whip or, as the saying goes, drive someone into paradise with a stick . . . People have to grow up to cooperatives so that they understand the necessity for joining them...
...devaluation of the new peseta, the government forgot to inform its own foreign-exchange institute, which tells the banks what to do. Furthermore, many prominent businessmen and politicians, including the Minister of Industry himself, have gone on record as opposed to the program, and while the government austerity drive against monopolies sounds fine on the surface, it excludes those that really count-the monopolies owned by the government itself...

Last week Sheik Mahmoud Chaltout, 66, Nasser-appointed rector of Cairo's revered al-Azhar University (TIME, May 11), was dramatically pressing a drive to reconcile the two sects. Sheik Chaltout years ago began wooing ulamas (Koranic scholars) of both sides with learned societies and a liberal theological monthly that is still going strong. Striking now with Nasser's support at the very root of the schism-the university itself, which for centuries condemned...
