Critical Dates. Ike has wanted to visit India, the trip's high spot, for more than two years, but has never been able to take enough time out from Washington duties. Last month he saw his chance: there were three "critical dates"-Dec. 3, the earliest he could get away from preliminary budget chores; Dec. 11, the opening of the U.S. exhibit at the World Agricultural Fair in New Delhi; Dec. 19, the Western summit in Paris.

...would shrivel under the leadership of a man behind the times, the voters sized up Maverick Lee's established reputation for honesty and economy, ignored labor's support of Jenkins, gave Lee a plurality of 6,000 votes.

...Willis) Godfrey, gas-station operator hand-picked and backed in five re-elections by the local political boss, spectacled Ralph Dawson, who doubles as city attorney. Mayor Godfrey drawls that the light, "being a machine, might vary four to five seconds in wet weather," admits that rain comes often enough for the light to produce a quarter or more of the town's $12,000 to $15,000 annual budget.

...enough to challenge the prowess of every red-blooded driver from Bognor Regis to Balquhidder when the initial 72-mile stretch of Britain's first six-lane throughway opened last week after 590 days abuilding. M1, as the government proudly labeled the London-Birmingham Motorway, is intended-when its final 45 miles are completed-to almost halve the time it now takes to crawl along a major industrial artery (average speed: 23.4 m.p.h.). But it boasts one feature guaranteed to lure speed-starved drivers from all parts of Britain. It has no speed limit...
