...that everyone-especially the Communist leaders of Eastern Europe-had become disturbed and confused about Mao Tse-tung's "secret" speeches (TIME, May 27, June 24), Red China decided to publish one of them to get the European comrades off the hook. "The author," noted the New China News Agency gravely, "has gone over the text and made certain additions." Among the additions, as a sop to Moscow, was the phrase, "We do not think other countries must follow the Chinese way." And among the tactful deletions was Mao's admission that the Reds had liquidated...
...post offices, telling employees to quit or be beaten up. Police looked on. The riot fever reached its peak following the burial of Singer Carmen Ramos. Some 1,500 teen-agers started back to town after the ceremony, shouting "Algeria is French!"-"Death to the Assassins!" Joined by other Europeans-gangs of poor Italians and Spaniards from the working-class district of Bab el Oued and members of the locally recruited Territorial army-they surged through Algiers streets toward the Casbah.

Without Orders. Most Moslems went into hiding. But one Moslem truck driver, accelerating to get away, knocked down and killed a European woman. The mob dragged the driver out of his cab, beat him senseless. A soldier killed him with a long burst from his submachine gun.

In Barcelona audiences cheered their approval of the orchestra's classical repertory. For Budapest-born Conductor George Szell, the greatest recognition came in Vienna. where that dean of critics, grumpy old (83) Max Graf, who knew Szell as a boy, voiced one of his rare, muted raves. "The sounds," he said, "were good indeed...
Clausen offers his ritual bull's-eyes to Colquhoun, but later makes the agonized confession that he has been an all-night sucker for the beastly magic of a local witch doctor. Hoping to bridge the gulf between European and African knowledge, he has dabbled in mysterious rites (in one, a man was burned to death by no visible flame) and is now desperately afraid for his soul. The fate of this jungle Dr. Faustus is sealed in what the press calls "the great Clausen scandal." Kenya-raised Novelist Huxley (Red Strangers, The Walled City) has written a literate...
