...Russell, 90, turtlenecked civil insurgent, resigned as president on the grounds that he had other things to do-things like writing a book about the peacemaker's role he believes he played in the Cuban and Sino-Indian crises, and keeping up his pen-palship with Khrushchev, Chou En-lai and Castro. Then Actress Vanessa Redgrave, 25, sidewalk-sitting daughter of Sir Michael Redgrave, resigned by mail.

A Yugoslav train reached its destination minus its last five cars; they had blown off en route. Even such southern cities as Marseille and Barcelona were blanketed with snow. Temperatures fell so low in Switzerland that the hardy monks and trusty dogs of St. Bernard retreated to the valley from their Alpine monastery. Ten French villages along the English Channel were isolated for days, and inhabitants ran out of bread, meat and coal. Roads in northern France became literally...

At the farewell banquet for Tsedenbal, Premier Chou En-lai smoothly noted that Red China had now solved its border problems on the basis of "peaceful coexistence" with Burma, Nepal, Pakistan and Outer Mongolia, making the point that only two neighbors now remain with whom China has not made a border adjustment: India and the Soviet Union...
